What it does
When someone asks "what is Acme up to right now?", this agent answers with evidence. Triggered by a chat message naming a competitor, it pulls their live job postings, reads across departments, seniority, and locations, and writes a concise brief on what the hiring pattern implies about their near-term strategy — a new product line, a leadership build-out, a turnaround, or steady-state.
When to use it
Use it for ad hoc competitive questions in the moment — prepping for a board update, a sales battle card, or a strategy meeting — when you want a reasoned read rather than a raw role dump and don't want to wait for a scheduled report.
How it works
- 1A chat message names the competitor and starts the run.
- 2The agent searches the web for the company's current open roles and recent posting activity using Exa.
- 3It fetches and reads the most informative postings to capture titles, seniority, teams, and locations.
- 4A reasoning step weighs the pattern — which functions are growing, what's conspicuously absent, where they're hiring.
- 5The agent composes a structured strategy brief and returns it directly in the chat reply.
