Prompt

Ask your agent

Prompt to replace Sprout Social
Use looot to pull the public profile data and latest posts for the social accounts I give you and summarise what changed. 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.
