# AI Agents

> Deploy autonomous AI agents that monitor your market and deliver scheduled intelligence reports.

## What are AI agents?

AI agents are scheduled tasks that run automatically on a cadence you define. Each agent has a specific job — monitor a set of competitors, generate a weekly report, watch for review attacks — and delivers results to your dashboard, email, or webhook.

What you see: open Agents, choose a monitor template, name the agent, set the cadence, create it, and run the first check. The clip uses product-demo sample data only.

## Available agent types

### Watchdog

Monitors all your competitors 24/7 and generates a structured alert when it detects a significant change. More intelligent than rule-based alerts — the Watchdog understands context (e.g., a rating drop combined with a review surge is more significant than either alone).

### Intelligence Reporter

Generates a formatted competitive intelligence report on a schedule (daily, weekly, or monthly). The report includes a narrative summary, competitor standings, opportunities, and recommended actions.

### Review Responder *(coming soon)*

Drafts responses to new reviews using your brand voice. You approve before posting.

### Rank Monitor *(coming soon)*

Automatically runs rank checks for your top keywords on a schedule and alerts you when your position changes.

## Setting up an agent

1. Go to **AI Agents** tab
2. Click **New agent**
3. Choose the agent type
4. Configure the schedule (daily / weekly / monthly)
5. Set the delivery method (in-app, email, webhook)
6. Click **Activate**

## How agents use your data

Agents have access to all data in your NearIQ account:

* Competitor snapshots (ratings, review counts, GBP data)
* Recent alerts
* Rank check history
* Local search visibility scores
* Job posting signals
* Owner response rates

The AI context is updated each time the agent runs, so reports always reflect the latest state.
