Run a market scan with a team of agents

One agent gathers sources, one summarizes, one checks the claims before you read it.

You will need

  • A research question with a clear scope
  • An agent that can browse the web

You will end up with

  • A sourced brief with every claim linked
  • A list of open questions to follow up

  1. Write the research question

    One sentence on what you need to know and for what decision. Add what is out of scope.

  2. Split the work across three agents

    A gatherer collects sources, a summarizer writes the brief, and a checker verifies each claim against its source.

    Prompt
    Gatherer: find [N] recent, primary sources on [QUESTION]. Return URL, date and one-line relevance for each.
Summarizer: write a one-page brief from these sources only. Cite every claim.
Checker: for each claim, open the cited source and mark it supported, unsupported or unclear.

  3. Read the checked brief

    Only claims marked supported stay in. Review the unclear ones yourself before you act.

    Human checkpoint. A person approves this step before the agent goes further.
