Brand Mention Monitor

Description

What this agent manifest does

Autonomous brand monitoring — scans, categorizes by sentiment and reach, escalates negative mentions.

Build an agent that scans the web for mentions of your brand, products, or executives via Bing-grounded search, deduplicates results in code interpreter, classifies each mention by sentiment (positive, neutral, negative, crisis) and reach (high, medium, low), and delivers a prioritized summary. It follows different output paths based on what it finds: all-positive gets a standard summary, negative mentions get flagged with context, and crisis-level mentions trigger an urgent header with escalation considerations. It produces the report; the user decides what to do. Findings reflect public information available at the time of the search.

This is an autonomous scan with conditional escalation pattern using numbered-rule prompt structure. The agent makes judgment calls without human input — classifying sentiment and reach and deciding whether something meets crisis criteria (3+ major outlets, legal allegations, viral discussion). Numbered rules create an unambiguous tree: scan → deduplicate → classify → route to the matching output path. The prompt handles brand-name ambiguity (exclude when uncertain), conflicting sources, and the line between editorial coverage and promotion. As an autonomous monitor, its output is a draft for the team to act on.

This pattern applies anywhere an agent monitors a source, classifies by severity, and routes output based on what it discovers. Common scenarios for this pattern:

  • Product-review monitoring across platforms
  • Social-sentiment tracking for campaigns
  • Competitor-announcement detection
  • Press-coverage tracking for PR teams
  • Community-forum issue escalation
