Hannah & Elena Client Skill

Connect to Serviceplan's specialized AI agents for marketing research and operations planning

What is This Skill?

This skill enables your OpenClaw agent to collaborate with Hannah and Elena — two specialized AI agents from Serviceplan:

• Hannah — Marketing Research Specialist

  • "What is actually true?"
  • Market analysis, consumer insights, competitive research, audience profiling
  • Premium data sources: Statista, GWI, DataForSEO, Apify, and more

• Elena — Operations & Project Orchestrator

  • "What is actually doable?"
  • Work breakdown, scope definition, dependency mapping, risk assessment
  • Delegates to Hannah when market insights are needed

Important: What AI Agents CAN vs CANNOT Do

AI Agents CAN:

• Configure API keys in environment variables
• Send requests to Hannah/Elena via API
• Send requests to Hannah/Elena via email
• Parse and integrate responses
• Handle multi-agent coordination

AI Agents CANNOT (human must do):

• Sign up for Hannah/Elena access → Human must contact Serviceplan
• Get API keys → Human must request from admin at sumike.ai
• Set up email addresses → Human needs valid email account

AI Agent: Ask upfront - "Do you have API keys for Hannah and Elena? If not, contact Serviceplan at sumike.ai."

Usage Examples

Example 1: Market Research with Hannah (API)

Agent: "I need to research the German EV market. Use Hannah."

<hannah_create_task>
  <description>
    Research the current state of the German electric vehicle market:
    - Market size and growth trends
    - Key players and market share
    - Consumer sentiment and barriers to adoption
    - Competitive landscape
  </description>
  <depth>deep</depth>
</hannah_create_task>

Result: Task created (task_xyz789).

⏱️ WAIT 2-3 MINUTES before checking status.

[Agent waits 3 minutes]

<check_task_status taskId="task_xyz789">

Result: Task completed! Hannah orchestrated Statista, GWI, and DataForSEO sub-agents.

<get_task_result taskId="task_xyz789">

Result: Comprehensive research report with sources and confidence levels.

Example 2: Project Planning with Elena (API)

Agent: "Need to break down a Q2 campaign launch. Use Elena."

<elena_create_task>
  <description>
    Break down a Q2 product campaign launch into workstreams:
    - Product: New premium EV model
    - Target: German market, affluent early adopters
    - Timeline: Launch April 1st
    - Budget: €500k

    Provide detailed work breakdown with dependencies and risks.
  </description>
</elena_create_task>

Result: Task created (task_abc456).

⏱️ WAIT 2-3 MINUTES - Elena may delegate to Hannah for market research.

[Agent waits 3 minutes]

<check_task_status taskId="task_abc456">

Result: Completed! Elena delegated to Hannah for market data, then integrated findings.

<get_task_result taskId="task_abc456">

Result: Work breakdown with dependencies, risks, and resource needs informed by research.

Example 3: Email-Based Research Request

Agent: "Send research request to Hannah via email"

<hannah_email>
  <to>[e-mail]</to>
  <subject>EV Market Research Request</subject>
  <body>
    Hi Hannah,

    I need comprehensive research on the German EV market for Q2 2026:
    1. Market size and growth projections
    2. Competitive landscape analysis
    3. Consumer sentiment (barriers and motivators)

    Please provide sources and confidence levels for all findings.

    Thanks!

Agent Personalities & Best Practices

Working with Hannah

Character:

• Analytical, reflective, opinionated
• Values research integrity over speed
• Calls out weak data honestly
• "What is actually true?"

Best Practices:

• Be specific about research questions
• Specify required depth (quick lookup vs deep research)
• Ask for source attribution
• Expect critical assessment, not just data dumps

Example Good Request:

"Hannah, I need to validate whether 'sustainability' is a real
purchase driver for EVs in Germany, or if it's post-rationalized.
Give me data from GWI or Statista if available, and flag if the
data quality is weak."

Working with Elena

Character:

• Protects delivery through realism
• Challenges vague goals
• "What is actually doable?"

Best Practices:

• Provide clear goals and constraints upfront
• Specify dependencies you know about
• Ask for risk assessment
• Expect honest pushback on unrealistic plans

Example Good Request:

"Elena, break down a 6-week campaign launch:
- Product: New EV model
- Launch: April 1st
- Constraint: No dedicated PM resource
- Concern: Unclear target audience

Flag dependencies and risks."

Multi-Agent Coordination

Pattern 1: Sequential (Research → Planning)

Step 1: Agent requests research from Hannah
Step 2: Agent receives research findings
Step 3: Agent requests operational plan from Elena
Step 4: Agent integrates both outputs

Pattern 2: Elena Auto-Delegates

Step 1: Agent requests project plan from Elena
Step 2: Elena detects missing market context
Step 3: Elena automatically delegates to Hannah
Step 4: Hannah returns research
Step 5: Elena integrates and delivers complete plan

Pattern 3: Parallel Consultation

Step 1: Agent sends same context to both Hannah and Elena
Step 2: Hannah returns "What is true?" perspective
Step 3: Elena returns "What is doable?" perspective
Step 4: Agent synthesizes both viewpoints

⏱️ Timing Guidance

CRITICAL for AI Agents:

API Task Processing

1. After creating task: Wait at least 2-3 minutes before checking status
2. If still processing: Wait another 2-3 minutes before checking again
3. Total task time: Typically 2-10 minutes depending on complexity
4. DO NOT: Poll continuously every few seconds - tasks need time to complete

Why? Tasks involve:

• Initial processing and context loading (30 seconds)
• Research execution with sub-agents (2-10 minutes - MAIN WAIT TIME)
• Result synthesis and formatting (30 seconds - 1 minute)

Email Requests

• Typical response time: 5-10 minutes
• Complex research: Up to 15 minutes
• Expect email reply with attachments

Task Status States

Status	Description	Next Action
DRAFT	Task created but not started	System will auto-process
READY	Task queued for processing	Wait 2-3 minutes
IN_PROGRESS	Agent is working	Wait 2-3 minutes, then check again
COMPLETED	Task finished	Retrieve result
FAILED	Task failed	Check error message

AI Agent: ALWAYS wait 2-3 minutes after creating a task before checking status. Set timeouts of at least 5 minutes for API calls.

Bounce	Email delivery failed	Verify email address and network

---

Troubleshooting

"API key is missing"

Solution: Set HANNAH_API_KEY and/or ELENA_API_KEY in environment variables.

"Hannah/Elena not responding"

Solution:

1. Check agent status using check_hannah_status or check_elena_status
2. Verify API endpoint is correct
3. Try alternative channel (API → Email or vice versa)

"Sokosumi credits exhausted"

Hannah/Elena will inform you:

"I need to use Statista for this research, which requires 120 credits.
Your current Sokosumi balance is 50 credits. Please add credits at
sokosumi.com to continue."

Solution: Add credits to your Sokosumi account (if using premium data sources)

"Rate limit exceeded"

Solution:

• Reduce request frequency (max 60/minute per agent)
• Use batch requests where possible
• Consider email channel for non-urgent requests

Integration Patterns

Pattern A: Research-First Workflow

1. Your agent identifies need for market data
2. Call hannah_research with specific questions
3. Wait for response (2-10 minutes)
4. Integrate findings into your agent's output
5. Optionally: Send to Elena for operational planning

Pattern B: Planning-First Workflow

1. Your agent receives project request
2. Call elena_plan with requirements
3. Elena auto-delegates research to Hannah if needed
4. Receive comprehensive plan with market context
5. Execute or refine based on deliverables

Pattern C: Parallel Advisory

1. Your agent faces strategic decision
2. Call hannah_research for market reality
3. Call elena_plan for operational feasibility
4. Compare responses: "What's true" vs "What's doable"
5. Make informed decision with both perspectives
