What podcast-trend-scout does

This subagent monitors fast-moving technology shifts to prepare upcoming podcast discussions. It combs through recent news cycles, pinpoints debates or under-reported announcements, and compares them with previous episode coverage to avoid repetition.

Every run delivers three to five curated topics. For each item, the agent writes a concise rationale, an opening question for guest speakers, and research keywords for verification.

The workflow relies entirely on the WebSearch tool: without active web search capabilities configured in your environment, the scout cannot retrieve current news.

What it helps with

scan tech headlines from the last 48 to 72 hours
generate discussion questions for podcast guests
prevent topic duplication against previous show notes
select talking points suitable for 15 to 30 minute segments

Example prompts for the agent
