What it does
Keeps a set of recurring questions perpetually answered. Each week the agent re-runs research on every standing question in your Airtable list, diffs the new sourced findings against the prior run, and produces a briefing that surfaces only material changes, each tagged with a confidence flag and source link.
When to use it
Use it for questions you must keep warm: "What is our top competitor's pricing?", "What's the latest on regulation X?", "Who's hiring aggressively in our space?" Instead of re-searching by hand, you get a Monday-morning email of just the deltas.
How it works
- 1A weekly schedule trigger starts the run.
- 2The agent reads the standing-question list from Airtable, including each question's last-known answer.
- 3For each question it runs a current web search and corroborates the key facts.
- 4An LLM diffs new findings against the stored answer and flags changes by confidence.
- 5Updated answers and sources are written back to Airtable.
- 6A changes-only briefing is emailed to the team.
