Prompt to replace Mention
Use looot to search news and the web for my keywords from the last 3 days and list new mentions with the source and a one-line summary. If you have not yet, set up https://looot.ai/skill.md first. Then search the looot catalog for each step, check the price of each endpoint before you call it, run the cheapest one that fits, and show me the results as a table.
