Research inbound leads and competitors with a team of agents
The CEO of Ankor, a yacht-industry software company, built a Lindy agent workforce himself, including agents that research inbound leads and market openings and one that posts a weekly competitor report to Slack.
What they did
With no engineering team, about ten agents went live in the first week and grew to 20 to 30. Research agents look into each inbound lead, spot new market opportunities and personalise follow-up; prep agents brief the team on prospects before calls; a scheduled agent posts the competitor report to a Slack channel each week.
What happened
The company says the agents cover marketing, sales, operations and support work it could not staff, and the CEO estimates a fivefold return.
Keep in mind
The return figure is the CEO's own estimate, the competitor report appears only in a screenshot caption, and the story does not cover accuracy or how errors are caught.
Try it with your agent
Every Monday at <time>, check the websites, pricing pages, blogs and job posts of <list of competitors>. Post a short report to <your Slack channel> listing only what changed since last week, each item with a source link and one line on why it matters for us. Separately, when a new lead arrives in <your inbox or CRM>, research the company and draft a personalised follow-up for me to approve.
Replace the <angle brackets> with your own details.
