recoup-research

Head-to-head artist comparison across streaming, playlists, audience, geography, and career stage.

Generate playlist pitch targets for an artist. Finds playlists that similar artists are on but the target artist isn't.

One-command full artist research sweep. Runs profile, metrics, audience, playlists, similar artists, and insights, then synthesizes into an executive brief.

A&R discovery and emerging artist scouting. Find emerging artists by genre, growth velocity, and platform momentum.

Trend detection and A&R discovery agent. Scans charts, discovery endpoints, and cross-platform metrics to find emerging artists, viral moments, and market opportunities before they're obvious.

Deep research synthesis agent. Pulls data from multiple Recoup research endpoints, cross-references findings, and produces executive briefs with specific numbers and actionable recommendations.

A&R discovery, chart analysis, and viral song analysis via the Recoup research API. Use when asked to find emerging artists, discover new talent, analyze charts, understand why a song went viral, or scout for trends. Triggers on "find emerging artists", "A&R scouting", "discover artists", "what's charting", "why did this go viral", "viral song", "trending", "chart analysis", "emerging [genre]", "breakout artists".

Web research, deep research, URL extraction, and entity enrichment via the Recoup research API. Use when Chartmetric data is unavailable, when you need narrative context from the web, when enriching entities with structured facts, or when extracting content from URLs. Also the graceful degradation fallback when other research skills return empty. Triggers on "web search", "deep research", "extract from URL", "enrich", "what does this page say", or when primary research endpoints return no data.

Generates a dated, delta-focused weekly brief for an artist by reading the workspace context file, fetching streaming + TikTok + rank + milestones + insights from the Recoup research API in parallel, and diffing against the previous brief. Use when asked for a "weekly brief", "what's new with [artist]", "brief [artist]", "[artist] update", "how is [artist] doing this week", "weekly update on [artist]", or when scheduling a recurring artist check-in. Outputs a markdown file under `artists/{slug}/research/brief-YYYY-MM-DD.md` so customers have a recurring artifact they actually open. Re-running on the same day is a no-op.

Full artist research sweep via the Recoup research API. Use when asked to research an artist, get an overview, understand how an artist is performing, or prepare an artist brief. Triggers on "research [artist]", "how is [artist] doing", "tell me about [artist]", "artist overview", "artist brief", or any request for a comprehensive look at an artist's streaming, social, audience, and competitive position. This is the default entry point for all artist research — it orchestrates profile, metrics, audience, playlists, similar artists, and insights into a synthesized brief.

Audience demographics, geographic analysis, market expansion scouting, tour routing, and TikTok-to-Spotify pipeline analysis via the Recoup research API. Use when asked about audience demographics, where fans are, market expansion, tour routing, TikTok conversion, geographic strategy, or "where should we focus". Triggers on "audience", "demographics", "who are the fans", "where are the fans", "tour routing", "which markets", "TikTok to Spotify", "market expansion", "geographic strategy".
