On Oct 27, 2026 @danguiux, who runs a real estate photography business in Dallas-Fort Worth, described on X an AI agent that runs at 7 AM: it reads the last two days of posts from realtors and photographers on Reddit, X and TikTok, pulls exact quotes rather than summaries, checks local photographers' public pricing pages and notes what changed, lists every source it couldn't read that day, and drops one short file to read with coffee. He said the list of unread sources matters most: it had flagged zero local realtor posts six days in a row, and without that line he would have read a quiet week as a trend. The prompt below sets up the same morning brief for your business. Use when the user wants help with daily market research (research) for a small business." --- # Get a short market-research file every morning before you're up: have an AI agent read what your customers and competitors posted in the last two days, pull exact quotes instead of summaries, note what changed on competitors' public pricing pages, and list every source it couldn't read A quiet week of research can just mean your agent couldn't reach the sources. On Oct 27, 2026 @danguiux, who runs a real estate photography business in Dallas-Fort Worth, described on X an AI agent that runs at 7 AM: it reads the last two days of posts from realtors and photographers on Reddit, X and TikTok, pulls exact quotes rather than summaries, checks local photographers' public pricing pages and notes what changed, lists every source it couldn't read that day, and drops one short file to read with coffee. He said the list of unread sources matters most: it had flagged zero local realtor posts six days in a row, and without that line he would have read a quiet week as a trend. The prompt below sets up the same morning brief for your business. ## Inputs to collect first Ask the user for anything below that they haven't already given you. Don't guess missing facts. - E.g. real estate photography in Dallas-Fort Worth - E.g. realtors, homeowners selling - Names or a link list of their public pricing pages - E.g. Reddit subs, X searches, TikTok hashtags, Facebook groups I can… - E.g. Grok Bot, ChatGPT tasks, Claude - Time - Folder/file name with today's date ## Instructions Do the task below with the user's inputs in place of each [bracket]. Help me set up a daily morning research brief for my business. My business: [e.g. real estate photography in Dallas-Fort Worth]. My customers: [e.g. realtors, homeowners selling]. My competitors: [names or a link list of their public pricing pages]. Where my customers talk: [e.g. Reddit subs, X searches, TikTok hashtags, Facebook groups I can read]. Tool I'll run it in: [e.g. Grok Bot, ChatGPT tasks, Claude]. 1) Write the instruction for an agent that runs at [time] and covers only the last [2] days: find posts from my customers and competitors, and quote them exactly with the link, never a paraphrase. 2) Check each competitor's public pricing page and note only what changed since the last run (price, package, wording), with the page link. 3) Add a section called 'Sources I couldn't read today' listing every source that failed, was blocked or returned nothing, and say how many days in a row each has been empty. 4) End with at most three things worth my attention and why, clearly marked as the agent's opinion. 5) Keep it to one short file I can read in five minutes, saved as [folder/file name with today's date]. Rules: public pages only, no logging in to other people's accounts, no contacting anyone, and no changes to my own prices or website; I decide what to do with it. ## Safety checks (share these with the user) - Check every figure, price and total against your own records before anything is sent, posted or booked. A person approves refunds, discounts, payments and price changes. - Remove names, contact details, account numbers and other personal data the task doesn't need before you paste, and check your AI tool's data and training settings. - Read and edit the draft before it reaches a customer or goes public. If you later automate this prompt, start with "draft and notify me", not "send automatically". - Check names, dates, numbers and any claim against your own source material before you use the answer. AI can misread or invent details. - Say clearly which parts need a person to review or approve before anything is sent, paid, posted or filed. ## About this skill - Works with: Grok Bot, ChatGPT, Claude, Reddit, X, TikTok - Based on this real-world example: https://x.com/danguiux/status/2115163957249847736 - Free prompt from AgentPlaybook Real Estate: https://agentic-library.netlify.app/prompt/al-383-get-a-short-market-research-file-every-morning-before-you-re/ - To install in an agent that supports Agent Skills, save this file as SKILL.md in a folder with the same name as `name` above (for example in your skills directory).
