The catch
A prompt is only as good as the data you feed it.
Run this well and you'll be stitching together 1 disconnected system by hand, for one account at a time — and the answer is only ever as fresh as your last copy-paste. Sonora already has the context, live:
- Web search — connected and continuously synced
Inside Sonora this prompt runs grounded in your real customer data, on a schedule, across every account at once — and flags what needs you, before you have to ask.
