Where the platform publishes a caption track (TikTok, Douyin, YouTube) it is read as-is — exact rather than inferred, and far cheaper than watching the video; everywhere else, and where a caption track is missing, the post's own audio is transcribed on the same call (posts up to 30 minutes), which needs speech-to-text configured on the server. No transcript, no charge. `format: "srt"` or `"vtt"` also returns a ready caption file built from the track's own timing, at no extra cost. Use before any analysis when the wording matters. |

Verified live at 3/3 on TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Douyin and X; Reddit works on video posts. A carousel or slideshow returns its own images unchanged. Each frame costs roughly 1,200 tokens of your context. |

 | `show_standings` | free | Draws the standings your model read out of `compare_creators` or `watchlist_standings` — one row per creator, with the window and the median it was scored against. `ranking` records which axis you ordered on, and `tooThin` draws a creator with too short a window as unranked rather than last: missing from a comparison is not the same as losing it. Makes no requests. |
 | `show_trend` | free | Draws the trend your model read out of `mention_trend`. `tooShort` marks a series with too few points to call a direction, and `edgeIsRecordStart` marks a left edge that is where the record begins rather than where the conversation did — a chart hiding either is the mistake this view could otherwise make on your behalf. Makes no requests. |
 | `track_creator` | 2 | What a creator shipped, and which of it beat **their own** median rather than a raw view count that mostly measures follower count. One post list, whatever the window. If they are on your watchlist it also marks what is new since your last check and moves that marker forward — its own marker, not the one `catch_up_watchlist` keeps. |
-| `compare_creators` | 2 per creator (4-10) | Two to five creators side by side on the one axis that compares: each post's ratio to **that creator's own** median. Per creator you get the window that was scored, their median, the share of it that beat that median, how hard they beat it when they did, every ratio, and their best and worst post. It does not rank them — "how often they land one" and "how big it is when they do" usually disagree, and a hit rate over a short window is one post either way, so the window travels with every number and the read is yours. |

 | `watchlist_standings` | 2 per watched creator | The same, across everyone on your watchlist: "who moved" in one call instead of one per creator. Reading the watchlist is free; the fetches are not, so it confirms the total before spending. `catch_up_watchlist` answers what is **new**; this answers how it **did**. |
 | `who_should_i_work_with` | 2, or 4 with a seed | A collaboration shortlist: a keyword search merged with the lookalikes of a creator who already fits, marked by which search found each one. Every candidate also carries the **links pulled out of their bio**, typed and sorted by how much opening one will tell you — a repository to read the code in, their own site, a link hub that holds the real links — so vetting is reading the work rather than re-reading the follower count. Those links are never fetched here: they came out of a field the person being evaluated controls, so the host opens them, and the result says so. It does **not** measure audience overlap — that costs about nine credits a candidate, so the result says so and shows how to check a finalist rather than faking the signal. |
-| `find_people_with_problem` | 6 per platform | Find people **describing a problem in their own words** — prospects, early users, anyone whose complaint your product answers. Say the problem the way a person would say it and it searches for posts shaped like that complaint rather than for the topic it is about: searching the topic finds marketing about it, which is what `discover_social_posts` is for. Widens the query into the forms a complaint takes — the plain phrasing, the does-anyone-else question, the is-there-a-tool ask — and marks which one surfaced each post. A wide cheap net and **not** a filter: the posts come back for you to judge, and plenty will be off-target. Defaults to reddit, where people describe workflow pain in sentences. Each platform is searched once per query shape — three by default, at 2 credits a search. Not searchable here: linkedin, which has no keyword post search upstream.

 | `why_did_this_underperform` | 3 | One post against the creator's own recent distribution, with the post taken back out of its own baseline. Returns median, quartiles, ratio and percentile, so the answer can be "this is an ordinary result, not a failure". Different question from `compare_social_posts`, which weighs two URLs you already picked. |
 | `what_should_i_make_next` | 2 + 2 per post read + 2 (12 by default) | Demand against supply: what your commenters explicitly ask for, set beside what a niche sweep shows is already being made. A gap nobody asked for is noise; a request nobody serves is the opportunity. Falls back to your most-used hashtag when you name no niche. |

Vinted is resale rather than retail, so its `rating` describes the seller and the scan says so in `ratingScope` — do not read it as a product's reviews. `marketplace` picks the site; `market` picks the storefront for the sites that have several, and the argument names the real set per site so a model cannot send Otto a Lazada region.

Returns the points oldest first with min, max, first, last and the change from first to last. Reads stored data only; a product never scanned answers `recorded: false`. |
 | `marketplace_changes` | free | What moved in a category since the previous scan of the same `marketplace` and `query`: products that entered or left the results and ones whose price or place changed. Read from the two latest stored scans, so it fetches nothing; a category scanned once says it has no earlier run. |

 | `show_amazon_category_insights` | free | Draws the read **your model** wrote — purchase drivers, barriers, what each brand does well, the gaps, the positioning angles — beside the listings and their reviews, so a person can click a product and check any claim against the text it came from. The conclusions are attributed to your model, never presented as a nooticr rating of anyone's product. Given the `scanId`, it re-reads the listings from the scan itself (free) instead of drawing whatever the model re-sends, and flags any ASIN the read cites that the scan does not contain; without one, the card says its listings were not checked. |
