 "who": "An analyst, marketer or operations lead who needs a research summary or spreadsheet built from the web and needs no coding.",
 "problem": "Gathering and formatting research by hand takes hours, and the team has no coding setup to run an agent.",
 "outcome": "A thread that browses the web, produces a report or spreadsheet, and lets you download the files it created.",
 "steps": [
  "Sign up at app.useagent.org with your email. No credit card is needed.",
  "Start a thread from the home page and describe the output, for example a research report or a spreadsheet of competitors.",

  "Watch the agent work in its browser, and answer it when it asks a question.",
  "Open the files it produced from the thread and keep the ones you need."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the UseAgent hosted app with a free model, start a thread that asks the agent to research <topic> and produce a spreadsheet of <number> sources. Expected output: a spreadsheet file attached to the thread. Verify that every row in the spreadsheet includes a source link.",

  "any"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Beginner",
 "time": "15 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The README says the agent can produce documents, spreadsheets and presentations, but it does not state how accurate the research output will be, so check sources yourself.",

 "requirements": [
  "A hosted UseAgent account, or a Linux host or laptop for self-hosting or running from source",
