## Agent prompt to replace Brandwatch

Use looot to search news and social posts that mention a brand name I give you from the last week and summarise what people say. 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.

Not really. looot covers a few of the data jobs but not the main product around them.

looot has no monthly seat. You pay per call to the provider you pick, and the catalog shows each endpoint's price before you run it. Whether that comes out cheaper than Brandwatch depends on your volume.

No. looot calls its own providers and does not connect to your Brandwatch account. Your existing Brandwatch data stays where it is.
