What it does

Each week this agent assembles a desk-ready intelligence brief on a sector you define (e.g. "enterprise AI infrastructure"). It runs neural search to surface recent items, reads the actual source pages rather than summaries, and writes a structured brief with an executive summary, key developments, and a citation list — published as a Notion page.

When to use it

For analysts, founders, or strategy teams who need a consistent Monday-morning read on a market without manually trawling news. Best when you want primary-source grounding (filings, blog posts, releases) instead of aggregator headlines.

How it works

  1. 1A scheduled trigger fires every Monday at 6am.
  2. 2Exa runs neural search over the past 7 days for your sector keywords and returns ranked result URLs.
  3. 3Firecrawl scrapes the top results into clean markdown so the agent reads full text, not snippets.
  4. 4The agent (OpenAI) clusters items into themes, drafts an executive summary, and pulls direct quotes with source attribution.
  5. 5A filter drops low-relevance or duplicate items below a confidence threshold.
  6. 6The finished brief is written to a new Notion page in your research database.
