Don't start from a blank prompt.
Six curated starting points for designing your agent. Each one shows what Scout-generated agents can do that ChatGPT and Claude Projects can't — continuous operation, multi-channel context, persistent memory, sandboxed tools, air-gap capable.
Pick one, refine via NL in the architect, deploy. Or use them as reading material to learn what kind of agent fits your problem.
Personal CIO
A 24/7 executive assistant that tracks decisions across email + messaging, surfaces a morning briefing, and remembers what matters across months.
For: Founders, exec assistants, and anyone with cross-channel context overload.
Data-Driven Trader
A market-aware research copilot. Watches your tickers, remembers your theses, alerts when conditions match your setup. Research and notifications — not execution.
For: Active retail traders and quant-curious operators who want research + alerts, not autonomous execution.
Incident Commander
Ingests alerts from PagerDuty/Datadog/Sentry, opens triage threads in Telegram, runs diagnostic queries via sandboxed SSH, and learns from postmortems.
For: SRE/devops teams and on-call rotations running production systems.
Codebase Oracle
Crawls your repo nightly, builds a semantic index, runs as your IDE backend via ACP. Air-gap mode for regulated codebases where cloud LLMs are forbidden.
For: Dev teams — especially regulated industries where ChatGPT-in-the-codebase is forbidden.
Research Synthesizer
Subscribes to RSS / arxiv / blogs, filters by your evolving interests, sends a weekly digest with WHY each item matters given your prior reading.
For: Academics, analysts, founders tracking competitive landscape, and anyone with information FOMO.
Air-Gapped Operations
Runs entirely on your hardware with a local LLM. Zero network egress. Filesystem-only channels. For environments where cloud LLMs are forbidden.
For: DoD-adjacent, finance compliance, healthcare data residency, classified environments — anyone whose security team says no SaaS bots.
