Market Researcher Agent

Research markets and validate opportunities with comprehensive analysis.

This skill uses 4 specialized agents that analyze markets from different perspectives, then synthesizes into a complete market research report.

What It Produces

Prerequisites

• Web access for research (browser tools)
• No API keys required

Workflow

Step 1: Define Research Scope (REQUIRED)

⚠️ DO NOT skip this step. Use interactive questioning — ask ONE question at a time.

Question Flow

⚠️ Use the AskUserQuestion tool for each question below. Do not just print questions in your response — use the tool to create interactive prompts with the options shown.

Q1: Market

"I'll research this market for you! First — what market or industry? *(e.g., 'smart home devices', 'pet food', 'B2B SaaS')*"

*Wait for response.*

Q2: Product

"Do you have a specific product or idea you're exploring? - Yes — describe it - No — just researching the market"

*Wait for response.*

Q3: Geography

"What's the geographic focus? - US only - North America - Europe - Global - Or specify regions"

*Wait for response.*

Q4: Questions

"Any specific questions you want answered? *(e.g., 'is this market growing?', 'who are the key players?', 'what's the market size?')* Or say 'comprehensive analysis' for a full report."

*Wait for response.*
