The brain behind the operation

Hi, I'm Bhavik. I built this. All of it.

Founder, engineer, designer, marketer, customer support, and yes, the person who answers the contact form emails. PeekWise is a one-person operation and honestly, that's kind of the point.

Built PeekWise because I saw small business owners working twice as hard with half the information their bigger competitors had. Felt like a solvable problem. Turns out it was.

I'm a software engineer by trade. Every layer of PeekWise — the review-collection pipeline, the AI analysis models, the nightly trend engine, and the dashboard you're reading about — was designed and written by me. That matters because when a briefing tells you a competitor's complaints are rising, I can trace exactly why the system said so.

Our Mission

Level the playing field for every local business owner.

Enterprise chains pay six-figure contracts for competitive intelligence teams. Your independent plumbing shop, hair salon, or dental clinic never had that option. Until now.

PeekWise packages the same kind of AI research that Fortune 500 companies rely on into a $49 a month briefing that takes 5 minutes to read. Every local operator deserves to know what their competitors are getting wrong, before their customers figure it out first.

How It Works

How PeekWise turns public reviews into intelligence.

PeekWise only reads what's already public. Every night, the system collects the new reviews posted on the public Google and Yelp listings of the competitors you track — the same pages anyone can open in a browser. We never touch private accounts or messages, and we never store personal information about the people who wrote the reviews. The analysis works at the level of patterns, not individuals.

An AI language model then reads every one of those reviews and does what a diligent owner would do with unlimited time: it scores the sentiment of each review, groups complaints and praise into named themes — "slow weekend service," "surprise fees," "great front desk" — and counts how often each theme comes up. A separate nightly job compares this week's counts against previous weeks, which is how a quietly growing complaint gets flagged before it becomes obvious.

Every insight in your briefing traces back to real review text with a real date. We deliberately don't speculate: if the data doesn't support a claim, it doesn't go in the briefing. And when the AI is uncertain — small sample sizes, ambiguous language — the briefing says so rather than dressing a guess up as a finding. That's the standard the whole product is built around: you should be able to ask "why is it telling me this?" and always get a concrete answer.

The Origin Story

Born from a frustration every small business owner knows.

01

The Problem Was Obvious

Local business owners had no affordable way to track what customers were saying about their competitors. Enterprise tools cost a fortune. Manual scrolling took hours. The gap was glaring, and nobody had had fixed it yet.

02

The AI Prototype

In 2025, with modern NLP models finally good enough to understand service business language, the first version was built in a weekend. It turned 400 competitor reviews into a 200-word briefing. The insights were immediately actionable.

03

PeekWise.ai Launches

After testing with 50 local business owners across plumbing, dental, salons, and gyms, PeekWise launched publicly in 2026. The goal was simple: give every local operator access to the kind of intelligence that used to cost a fortune.

Our Values

The principles we build by.

Speed over perfection

Local business owners need answers now. We ship fast, iterate constantly, and never let perfect be the enemy of useful.

Built for real operators

We're not building for enterprise analysts. We're building for the salon owner, the plumber, the gym owner. People who have 20 minutes, need the truth, and just want to win.

Trust through transparency

Every insight has a source. Every alert has a reason. We never guess, and we always show our work.

AI should feel like a colleague

Not a dashboard full of numbers. PeekWise tells you what's happening in plain English, like a smart colleague who's already done all the reading.
