Channel Sponsorship Sourcing
On the cadence you choose, a sourcing agent maps where your ICP spends time — communities, newsletters, podcasts, and accounts — finds the best paid-shoutout placements, and drafts outreach and a placement tracker, with a spend review and your approval required before any placement is committed.

Requirements
What this template expects to do its job. Task Machine does not verify these — you decide whether your setup is ready.
- Web search and fetch access for sponsorship research — The agent researches communities, newsletters, podcasts, and accounts on the open web through runtime web search and fetch tools. Until web tools are available, it works from attached research and exports.
- Browser access to Slack, Discord, newsletter, and podcast tools — The agent works in Slack, Discord, newsletter platforms, and podcast/host sites through their web interfaces in your browser and pauses for your approval before making any changes; until you connect it, it works from attached channel lists and exports. These channels have no usable API for sponsorship outreach, so browsing is how the agent inspects and reaches them.
