TIL: you can tag competitors' names for automatic tracking.

Hey folks, just stumbled upon a neat little feature in MeetGeek that I haven't seen anyone really talk about yet, and as someone who’s always knee-deep in comparison spreadsheets, I think it’s a game-changer for competitive analysis.

So, you know how we’re always evaluating tools against each other? Like, is **MeetGeek** better than **Otter.ai** for developer standups, or how does its GitLab integration stack up against **Fellow** or **tl;dv** for async workflows? Well, inside MeetGeek’s transcript sections and note areas, you can actually tag competitor names using a specific `@` syntax, and the system will automatically track mentions and, from what I can tell, log them for you in a sort of competitive intelligence dashboard. I was setting up a new automation to pipe meeting insights into our **Kubernetes** deployment annotations (a story for another day 😅), and I found this buried in their admin settings.

Here’s a quick example of how the tagging looks in a meeting note:

```
Action Items:
- @brianw to compare transcription accuracy rates between @MeetGeek and @Otter.ai for technical jargon.
- Team to review the @Fellow-esque action item assignment flow.
- Check if @tl;dv-style timestamp clipping is on the roadmap per PM request.
```

Once you tag them, you can apparently filter and get reports on:
* How often a competitor is brought up in strategic meetings.
* Which teams are mentioning which alternatives.
* The context (e.g., feature requests, complaints, praise).

This feels like a powerful, albeit slightly sneaky, way to gather product intel organically. I’m thinking from a **platform-engineering** perspective, you could even hook this data into your **observability** stack (think **Grafana** dashboards) to correlate competitor mentions with sprint cycles or incident reports. The **GitOps** side of me is already dreaming of a pipeline where these tags trigger automated comparative analysis in our internal docs.

Has anyone else played with this? I’m curious about the data export formats—whether it’s just a CSV dump or if there’s an API endpoint. Also, a bit wary of the privacy implications for internal meetings, but the automation potential is huge.
