This is a durable gateway demo — a sandboxed client can’t fake live, web-grounded research. The value is paid search + real-time data, not generation. (We have no X/Twitter endpoint today, so “recent posts” reads as recent public posts + news; an X route would sharpen this — see the recipe backlog.)

Expected output
Extend it
- Swap Serper for Brave news (
/brave/v1/news/search) or NewsAPI (/newsapi/v1/search) for a different recency lens - Add Hunter.io (
/hunter/v1/search) to surface a verified contact email for follow-up - Pipe the brief into Resend (
/resend/v1/emails) to send yourself the prep the morning of - Run it for every attendee on tomorrow’s calendar in parallel — each is an independent ~$0.08 pass
