## Agent prompt to replace Gem

Use looot to search for people who match a role, find a work email for each and return a shortlist table. 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.

## Is there a free Gem alternative?

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 Gem depends on your volume.

## What does Gem cost?

List prices change, so check Gem's own pricing page. This page does not repeat them. The looot side is read live from the catalog on the web version of this page.

Paste the agent prompt on this page into your coding agent. It sets up looot, finds the endpoints for each job and runs them. You can edit the prompt to match your own inputs.

## Do I need a Gem account to use looot?

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