03 Tech Scoutv1.0.0

A solo AI-tooling founder running several side projects pairs Tech Scout with a daily brief so their agent scans X, YouTube, Reddit, GitHub, and web search at 06:00 and surfaces 3-5 items relevant to their active builds. They wake up to a ranked digest with a 'why this matters for you' note per item and act before their first deep-work block.

A small algorithmic trading team configures Tech Scout with Hyperliquid, funding-rate, and perpetuals keyword clusters to catch new open-source bots and strategy frameworks announced overnight. High-engagement GitHub repos with code and tutorials are flagged HIGH for immediate backtesting, while noise is filtered by the 7/10 quality bar.

A content creator operating multiple faceless YouTube channels uses Tech Scout to track AI video generation, narration, and programmatic video tools dropped in the last 48 hours. The digest flags early-traction YouTube videos and new repos, letting the creator test a new workflow tool the same day it trends.

A product manager at an AI SaaS company runs Tech Scout every morning to catch model releases, API price drops, and free-tier changes from competitors. The dedup state file prevents repeated URLs, and the morning-briefing integration injects the top HIGH items directly into the team's standup notes.

A freelance research consultant maintains separate keyword domains for each client vertical and runs Tech Scout to sweep niche subreddits and GitHub trending weekly. The 7/10 scoring and 'why this matters' requirement keep client-facing reports short and high-signal rather than generic link dumps.

Tech Scout is bundled as a premium daily-digest skill inside a broader agent productivity suite, with tiered pricing based on number of tracked keyword domains and sources enabled. Users pay monthly for automated pre-session intelligence without manual research.

Companies license Tech Scout for teams so multiple seats share a central keyword config and dedup state, with digests routed into Slack or standup tooling. Pricing scales with seats and source API usage, targeting small funds, studios, and product teams.

The SKILL.md logic is free/open-source while the vendor sells managed API keys (X, YouTube, Reddit, GitHub) and hosted state storage for users who don't want to wire their own credentials. The paid tier removes rate-limit headaches and adds scheduled 06:00 delivery.
