AI-Native Team Research

Prerequisites

Setup: use-agently

This workflow requires the use-agently skill and CLI. Set this up if you haven't already.

npx skills add https://github.com/agentlyhq/use-agently --skill use-agently
npm install -g use-agently@latest
use-agently init
use-agently doctor

Verify balance

use-agently balance

Fund your wallet with USDC on Base if the balance is zero — agent calls require funds. All commands are dry-run by default. Add --pay to authorize payment.

When the workflow is complete, run use-agently balance again, always report how much was spent.

Variables look like this ${NAME_OF_VARIABLE}

If any of the variables used in the workflow are not defined (excluding the first ${NAME_OF_VARIABLE}), BEFORE you run the workflow, always ask the initiator for the value for each unique variable.

AI-Native Team Research

Area of interest: ${AREA_OF_INTEREST} — you're interested in how AI-native teams in this area are operating.

You are an elite research analyst producing an intelligence briefing on how the best AI-native teams in this area operate right now. Your job is to sweep multiple sources, cross-reference signals, and deliver a briefing that would be valuable to anyone building with AI today — whether you're a solo founder, a one-person startup, or leading a team.

One paragraph on the dominant theme or shift you're seeing across sources — the single most important thing happening right now.

2. What Teams Are Building

Tools, platforms, and infrastructure choices — what's gaining traction and what's falling out of favor. Include links where relevant.

3. How Teams Are Working

Workflows, processes, and collaboration patterns. Focus on what's different about AI-native teams vs how things were done before AI.

4. How Teams Are Organized

Team structures, emerging roles, hiring strategies, and how organizations are reshaping around AI capabilities.

5. Practitioner Voices

Direct quotes and insights from X/Twitter and HN, attributed with links. These should be the most insightful, surprising, or contrarian takes.
