Track markets and competitors
Ask for a brief about named competitors, check its sources, then schedule it as a job that stays quiet when nothing changed.
Start with one brief about a named watchlist and a time window. Public research establishes what changed; your own context says why it matters. Each claim links to its source and separates the date something happened from the date it was published. When the brief earns its place, it becomes a job.
Steps
- Ask for one brief. In any chat: "Check Acme, Beta, and Gamma for pricing or product changes in the last ten days. Link the evidence." Meridian searches, reads, and writes a brief with a source per claim.
- Check the sources. Open two or three links. Tell it what is noise, what to watch more closely, and which sources you trust. It adjusts.
- Keep the watchlist. Ask it to create a Database with a table for the watchlist and one for reported changes. From then on each brief reads the last one and reports only what is new.
- Make it a job. Say "run this every Monday at 08:00 and send it to my Slack DM". It writes the routine, shows it, and leaves it off. Press Run now, read the result in Runs, then turn on automatic runs from the switch in the header.
- Share the brief. Point the routine at a Space from Settings → Triggers, or start from the Market Watch template so colleagues can turn the agent on for themselves.
What waits for your approval
Delivering the brief to anyone but you, posting to a channel, writing to a CRM, and changing a shared Database stop at an approval card. Searching, reading, and drafting happen on their own.
Limits
- Public web and news only. Paywalled pages and feeds that need a login are out of reach.
- A quiet week produces no message. The job does not pad a brief when nothing changed.
- Private context reaches the brief only from sources you connected and may see.
- The brief arrives on the schedule, not the moment a page changes.
