Agent researches its own competitors
Custom agent: Daemora, a self-hosted agent, searched Reddit, HN, Twitter and review sites unprompted and wrote a competitor analysis and go-to-market plan from one task.
It wrote a 3,000 word document with competitor pain points, 40 named target users, and an outbound playbook.
Overview
How it was set up
Daemora, the author's own self-hosted agent, using its webSearch, webFetch, browserAction, writeFile and createDocument tools.
Worth knowing
The author built the agent and is promoting it; the competitor claims and the 40 targets are not independently checked.
A prompt to start from
You are [agent name]. Research the [market] landscape in [year]. Find the top competitors and analyse their pain points using real user complaints from Reddit, HN and Twitter. Identify target customers, write outreach scripts, and build a complete go-to-market strategy with cited sources.
