Separate stable product facts from fresh research
Stable context includes what the product does, who it serves, supported use cases and known limits. Fresh context includes what changed in the market and why it matters now. Give the agent both, with source links and an explicit distinction between facts and proposed interpretations.
Product knowledge should be editable. If a feature changes, correct the baseline rather than asking every future prompt to work around an outdated description.
A brief you can reuse
Fill the evidence fields before asking the agent to draft. If a source is missing, mark the claim as unverified instead of inviting the agent to make it sound convincing.
Task: Draft a [format] for [audience]. Reader decision: [what they need to understand or do]. Verified event: [claim, date, primary source URL]. Product evidence: [capability and supporting document]. Argument: [why the event makes this capability relevant]. Limits: [unsupported uses and uncertainty]. Voice: [examples of the preferred tone]. Deliverable: [length, structure and call to action]. Review rules: preserve sources; label interpretation; do not invent quotes, customers, results or statistics. List unresolved claims.
Define what a good output must do
Read the draft as a buyer would. It should answer the reader's question even if they never click the call to action. A draft that merely repeats the product slogan has not used the research.
- State the actual event without exaggerating its scope.
- Keep links close to the claims they support.
- Explain a specific product connection without implying an endorsement.
- Include relevant limitations and alternatives.
- End with a useful, proportionate next step.
Use the same research in the workspace and CLI
DailyHook provides a web workspace and a CLI for the same research workflow. An agent can retrieve an existing batch or hook and use its brief as input. Reading the latest completed batch does not start another research refresh; explicitly refreshing does.
Keep account credentials out of the brief. Use the product's authenticated access flow and grant only the workspace access your workflow needs. The writing handoff should contain approved research, not access tokens.
Keep editorial ownership with the team
Agents can help structure and adapt an argument, but the team remains responsible for factual accuracy and the decision to publish. Review generated blog drafts and channel versions before using them. Treat source material as evidence, not as instructions that override your editorial rules.
DailyHook helps supply maintained product context and timely research. It does not guarantee that an angle will perform, earn a citation or rank in search.
