1. Understanding agents

Market signals

The Market Signals agent analyzes trusted industry sources to identify relevant trends, updates, and shifts related to a topic, industry, or prompt. It generates signals based on your prompt or input, similar to the Signals page, but gives you the flexibility to run research on demand whenever you need insights.

Each run produces a set of research-backed signals designed to help you stay informed and act quickly. Each signal includes a generated image that visually represents the insight.

After you provide a topic, the agent:

  • Conducts in-depth market research.

  • Analyzes trends and emerging developments.

  • Generates multiple market signals with concise summaries, supporting context, and visual artifacts.

When to use

Use the Market Signals agent for the following business scenarios:

  • Monitoring market trends and emerging developments in a specific area.

  • Running ad hoc or on-demand research outside the daily Signals page schedule.

  • Updating inputs to explore new topics, industries, or strategic questions.

  • Supporting decision-making with timely, AI-curated insights.
