Why it matters

It is one of 201 sightings filed under Research & Data on Agent Sightings (number 152 by interest), and one of 213 involving Claude.
How you could try it
Here is a reusable prompt, written by us in our own words, that captures the task. Paste it into Claude or any similar agent and adjust the details to your situation.
Research brief: track competitor prices and contacts into Google Sheets. Prefer primary sources, include links and confidence notes, and do not contact anyone.
Tip: Start small: run it once on a low-stakes example, read what the agent did, and only then let it run on real work.
