From a one-off to a routine
Once a search or a list is working, you can ask your agent to make it repeatable. Vamo supplies who the people are and the evidence. Your other tools send the messages and hold the pipeline.
Things to ask for
- A standing search: "Run this search every Monday and give me only the people I have not seen."
- Better outreach: "For each person on this list, add a sentence about their work that I can merge into my email template."
- A sourcing agent of your own: "Build an agent that takes a job description, searches, checks each person, and hands me a ranked list to approve."
- One conversation, several tools: "Look up these candidates in our tracking system, check their GitHub work with Vamo, and tell me who to move forward."
Habits that keep it reliable
- Keep a record of who you have already seen or contacted, so a second run brings new people.
- Save the search itself. A list goes out of date, and the search can be run again.
- Have your agent prepare messages and updates for you to approve. A person should press send.
- Give each agent its own API key, named for what it does.
If you write code
Everything your agent does is available to your own software through the same API. The developer documentation has the full reference, and the workflows skill describes the patterns: one record shape between steps, a weekly run, and hand-offs to other systems.
