Tips & Limitations

• Fact vs. Estimate: Always pay close attention to the agent's distinction between verifiable data and estimated projections.
• Primary Research: While the agent is an expert at synthesizing secondary data, it cannot conduct live surveys or interviews. For mission-critical decisions, treat the agent's output as a high-quality foundation and supplement with primary research.
• Customization: You can refine the agent's output by providing specific regions or timeframes in your prompts; the more context you provide, the higher the precision of the analysis.
