## What it does

Runs a grounded research pass over the last 30 days of Reddit, X, YouTube, Hacker News, Polymarket, the web and (opt-in) Xiaohongshu, then writes a summary that links every source. For video work, point it at a niche or a format ("AI music videos", "skincare UGC hooks") to see what people are actually posting and discussing before you write a brief.
