Who it’s for

01

Why it exists

A personal brand runs on fresh, credible material. Finding current news, real cases and surprising studies means reading dozens of pages and discarding most of them. Generic prompts return obvious, dated ideas with uncertain sources.

The result: content that repeats what everyone else says — or never gets published.

02

What it does

Several specialist agents search in parallel, a separate fact checker verifies their work, and you get one numbered pack with plain explanations, source links and a status per finding.

Media Scout does not write your posts, scripts or talks. It gives you strong raw material; you decide what to make of it.

03

What you need

Claude with agent toolsUse the Claude desktop app. It needs web search, page access, sub-agents and file saving.

Works with any agent, but requires adaptation to your specific setup.
