What you can ask
The server teaches your assistant that "SD" means Scraping Daddy, so you can just ask:
- "hey SD, how many views did CarryMinati's latest YouTube video get?"
- "SD, find Reddit discussions about learning Python and summarise the common advice, with links."
- "SD, compare the follower counts of @natgeo on TikTok and Instagram."
- "SD, what are the best restaurants in California?"
The assistant picks the right endpoint, calls it with your account's credits and answers from the live data.
