From bacbc725858699bf97b3e4efa8671589a716b0b8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: waleed Date: Fri, 3 Jul 2026 12:41:31 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] improvement(compare): tighten comparison-page copy, cut self-referential hedging Across sim.ts and all 20 competitor profiles, remove phrasing that describes a claim's own provenance/reliability (e.g. 'marketing claim', 'marketing copy states', 'as of this check') in favor of stating the fact directly. Also trims overlong run-on sentences into shorter, more direct ones. No numbers, dates, comparisons, confidence levels, or sources changed. --- .../compare/data/competitors/claude-cowork.ts | 152 +++++++------- .../lib/compare/data/competitors/crewai.ts | 136 ++++++------ apps/sim/lib/compare/data/competitors/dust.ts | 51 +++-- .../lib/compare/data/competitors/flowise.ts | 128 +++++------ .../lib/compare/data/competitors/gumloop.ts | 76 +++---- .../lib/compare/data/competitors/langchain.ts | 65 +++--- .../lib/compare/data/competitors/langflow.ts | 52 ++--- apps/sim/lib/compare/data/competitors/make.ts | 40 ++-- .../data/competitors/microsoft-copilot.ts | 162 +++++++------- apps/sim/lib/compare/data/competitors/n8n.ts | 52 ++--- .../data/competitors/openai-agentkit.ts | 50 ++--- .../lib/compare/data/competitors/openclaw.ts | 198 +++++++++--------- .../lib/compare/data/competitors/pipedream.ts | 117 +++++------ .../data/competitors/power-automate.ts | 114 +++++----- .../lib/compare/data/competitors/retool.ts | 83 ++++---- .../lib/compare/data/competitors/stackai.ts | 50 ++--- .../sim/lib/compare/data/competitors/tines.ts | 84 ++++---- .../lib/compare/data/competitors/vellum.ts | 85 ++++---- .../lib/compare/data/competitors/workato.ts | 76 +++---- .../lib/compare/data/competitors/zapier.ts | 129 ++++++------ apps/sim/lib/compare/data/sim.ts | 44 ++-- 21 files changed, 968 insertions(+), 976 deletions(-) diff --git a/apps/sim/lib/compare/data/competitors/claude-cowork.ts b/apps/sim/lib/compare/data/competitors/claude-cowork.ts index eea83f2680a..6c9328ba616 100644 --- a/apps/sim/lib/compare/data/competitors/claude-cowork.ts +++ b/apps/sim/lib/compare/data/competitors/claude-cowork.ts @@ -15,7 +15,7 @@ export const claudeCoworkProfile: CompetitorProfile = { asOf: '2026-07-02', }, oneLiner: - "Claude Cowork is Anthropic's autonomous desktop agent, built into the Claude Desktop app. Give it a goal in plain language and it works across your own local files, folders, and apps (via connectors, a browser, and direct screen control) to finish a multi-step task end-to-end.
