Question 1

How do I build my own signal engine?

Accepted Answer

Give your agent the setup file, then paste one prompt per signal. The agent reads your accounts, calls the data providers through looot, and writes what it finds to a table in your own Supabase. You pay per call.

Question 2

What is a buying signal?

Accepted Answer

A change at a company that makes a purchase more likely: new sales hires, a funding round, a new tool in the tech stack, a new ad campaign, a press mention, a champion changing jobs.

Question 3

Which signals can the agent watch today?

Accepted Answer

Hiring, job changes, funding, tech changes, news and new ads. Each one has a prompt and a provider list on this page. Some signals have no priced endpoint in the catalog yet, and the page shows price on request for those.

Question 4

How much does a signal cost per 1,000 accounts?

Accepted Answer

The page reads the live catalog and multiplies the cheapest priced endpoint by 1,000. If no priced endpoint matches, it shows price on request instead of a guess.

Question 5

Can it run on a schedule?

Accepted Answer

Not yet. Scheduled runs are not available. Your agent runs the loop when you ask, compares with the last stored run, and shows the diff.

Question 6

Does looot send alerts?

Accepted Answer

No. looot returns data. Your agent can show you the diff in the chat you already use.

Question 7

Where is the signal history stored?

Accepted Answer

In your own Supabase project. Each row keeps the source, the looot endpoint, the cost and the fetch time, so a signal alerts you once.

Question 8

How is this different from a signal SaaS?

Accepted Answer

A signal SaaS sells a seat and a fixed set of signals. Here you choose the provider and pay for each call. For the SaaS side, check their pricing page. This page shows no competitor price.

Question 9

Do I need to pick the provider myself?

Accepted Answer

No. Your agent asks for the task and looot ranks the providers by measured success, speed and price. The providers listed here are the ones the catalog uses for each signal.

Question 10

What does the agent need from me?

Accepted Answer

A list of accounts and one approval in the browser. Setup is one line, set up https://looot.ai/skill.md, and the agent does the rest.
