Researcher Agent:
AI Market Research for Your Social Media

The Researcher is one of the specialists on Zoe's AI marketing team. When you ask Zoe for a plan, a campaign or a single post, the Researcher is usually the first specialist to start work. Its job is to answer three questions before anything is created:

• Who are we talking to? Audience interests, pain points, language and buying triggers.
• What is happening in the market? Trends, seasonal moments, festivals and category news.
• What are people asking? Common questions and objections your content should answer.

Audience insight

The Researcher builds a picture of your customers from your business details in your brand kit and public conversation in your category. A coaching institute learns what parents and students worry about before exams; a cafe learns what draws weekday versus weekend crowds.

Trend and topic discovery

It surfaces topics gaining attention in your niche, with the link for each, so your content feels timely rather than recycled. It calls something a trend only when two separate sources show it.

Local and seasonal context

Timing matters. The Researcher factors in festivals, exam seasons, wedding seasons, monsoon and local events that shape what people search for and buy.

Question mining

It gathers the questions customers ask about your category, quoted the way people wrote them. These become carousels, Reels, FAQs and WhatsApp agent answers.

Research briefs for the team

Findings are summarized in a short brief that the Strategist and the Creative director use, ending with the one thing worth acting on this week and why now. You can read it too.

1. 1You ask Zoe for something: "Plan our posts for next month" or "We are launching a new course."

1. 1Zoe assigns the Researcher: it studies your audience, market and timing.

1. 1A research brief is created: key insights, topics to cover and angles to avoid.

1. 1The rest of the team builds on it: strategy, ideas, designs and copy all reference the brief.

1. 1You approve the output: nothing goes live without your sign-off.

Request: "Plan two weeks of Instagram posts."

Research brief highlights:

• Common patient questions: cost of root canal, braces for adults, whitening safety.
• Seasonal angle: wedding season drives interest in smile makeovers.
• Language: many followers engage with Telugu and English posts.
• Content gap: competitors post offers but rarely explain procedures.

Result: a plan built around explainer Reels, myth-busting carousels and a wedding-season smile campaign, instead of generic "Brush twice a day" posts.

• Competitor analyst: adds what rivals are doing to the research picture.
• Strategist: turns research into a plan with goals and content pillars.
• Creative director: turns research findings into post ideas and scripts.
• Copywriter: uses audience language and questions in captions.
• Analyst: feeds results back so the next round of research is sharper.

• Small businesses without a marketing analyst.
• Agencies that need fast research for new clients.
• Multi-location brands that want local insight per city.
• Founders launching a new product or service.

• Fill in your business profile fully: services, prices, locations and customer types.
• Tell Zoe your goals: footfall, leads, bookings or brand awareness.
• Mention competitors you care about.
• Review the first brief and correct anything that does not fit your business.
