## Agent prompt to replace Intercom

Use looot to enrich the companies of the customers I list with size, industry and location so I can route them to the right team. 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.
