What AI Agent does
AI Agent takes a natural language prompt and produces a full structured report. Instead of manually researching across channels, pulling data, and formatting findings, you describe what you need — and AI Agent delivers a report ready for internal reviews, retailer pitches, or board meetings.
It lives inside AI Chat. You type a prompt the same way you'd ask AI Chat a question, but the output is a formatted, structured report rather than a conversational answer.
How templates work
AI Agent reports are built on templates:
Default Trendier templates — ready to use out of the box, covering common scenarios across brands, retailers, and manufacturers
Custom templates (AI Agent skills) — send your preferred report format to your account manager, and it gets registered as your company's own AI Agent skill. Once registered, AI Agent uses that template whenever you generate a report
Different teams and clients can have different custom skills registered. Your AM handles the one-time setup; after that, you prompt and generate freely.

Common follow-up questions
How is AI Agent different from just asking AI Chat?
AI Chat gives conversational answers. AI Agent produces structured, formatted reports using templates — the kind of output you'd present in a meeting or share with stakeholders.
Can I use my own report format?
Yes. Send your preferred template to your account manager. Once it's registered as an AI Agent skill, all your reports follow that format.
How are credits consumed?
Each report generation consumes credits. Downloads are unlimited — once a report is generated, you can download it as many times as you need.
Can I use AI Agent on Starter or Pro?
No — AI Agent is a Business plan feature. See "Can I add AI Agent to my Starter or Pro plan?" for the full breakdown.
How is AI Agent different from Signal?
Signal is a curated trend newsletter delivered on a schedule. AI Agent generates reports on demand based on your prompts. Signal keeps you current; AI Agent produces deliverables.
