Agenta tutorial: weekly competitor reports with Gmail

This tutorial builds an AI agent in Agenta that researches competitors and emails a weekly digest. The workflow starts with a plain-language request and a company website, which the agent uses to identify competitors and propose topics to track.

The presenter connects a search tool and requests a weekly Monday run. The generated instructions tell the agent to research developments from the preceding seven days. He then inspects the agent's model, instructions, tools and trigger, edits the instructions to ignore funding information and focus on product features, and saves and commits the configuration.

For delivery, he selects an existing Gmail connection, supplies an email address and asks the agent to send each completed digest. The agent updates its instructions and adds the email tool. The tutorial shows where to connect an account, but does not demonstrate signing into a new Gmail account.

A manual run in the playground sends the scheduled prompt without waiting until Monday. The presenter inspects the research results and opens the resulting email. This example relies on external web search and Gmail; it does not demonstrate offline operation or a self-hosted installation.
