This agent researches real-time market data across industry-leading platforms, synthesizes comprehensive compensation reports, and generates personalized negotiation scripts to help professionals advocate for their value confidently and strategically.

How It Works

1. Search market salary data (Exa) — Scans semantic web search across Levels.fyi, Glassdoor, LinkedIn Salary, and Payscale to gather current compensation benchmarks for your target role, location, and experience level.

2. Run reasoning-based compensation query (Perplexity) — Executes an advanced chain-of-thought search asking: "What is the current total compensation range for [role] with [X] years experience at [company type] in [location] in [year]?" to surface nuanced salary insights.

3. Synthesize compensation report (Claude Opus) — Analyzes all gathered data to produce a detailed compensation report breaking down base salary ranges, equity norms, bonus structures, benefits valuations, and total compensation at 25th, 50th, and 75th percentiles.

4. Generate negotiation playbook (Claude Sonnet) — Crafts a tailored negotiation strategy including opening ask recommendations, BATNA (Best Alternative to Negotiated Agreement) framing, counter-offer scripts, time-request language, and non-salary trade-off strategies.

5. Save research and playbook (Google Docs) — Exports the complete compensation analysis and negotiation playbook to a new Google Docs document in your Drive for easy reference during negotiations.
