What it does

Every morning this workflow pulls the previous day's app install-rank deltas from your BigQuery store-rank dataset, isolates the biggest movers, and tries to explain each one. For every notable jump or drop it searches the web for competitor release activity (new versions, feature launches, pricing changes) dated within the movement window, then assembles a correlated brief in Notion that pairs each rank shift with a plausible cause.

When to use it

Use it when you track a category leaderboard and need a daily, low-effort read on why ranks moved overnight — without an analyst manually joining store data to news. Best for competitive-intelligence and product-marketing teams watching a defined competitor set.

How it works

  1. 1A daily scheduled trigger fires before the workday starts.
  2. 2A BigQuery query returns yesterday's rank deltas per tracked app.
  3. 3A logic step filters to apps whose rank moved beyond a set threshold.
  4. 4For each mover, Brave Search looks for competitor release events on the relevant dates.
  5. 5An OpenAI step drafts a correlation narrative linking moves to events.
  6. 6The brief is published as a new Notion page in the research database.
