What it does

Produces a recurring, citation-backed landscape brief for a market category you track. It searches Brave for the last seven days of press, deduplicates and clusters the results into themes (funding, launches, regulation, M&A), then writes a Coda page with an executive summary, theme sections, and a sources table linking back to every article.

When to use it

You cover a category (e.g. "AI observability" or "vertical SaaS for dentists") and need a dependable Monday-morning read on what moved last week, without manually sifting headlines. Good for analysts, founders tracking competitors, and GTM teams.

How it works

  1. 1A Monday schedule fires the run.
  2. 2Brave Search queries the category with a 7-day freshness window and returns ranked results.
  3. 3A logic step deduplicates by URL/domain and drops anything older than the window.
  4. 4OpenAI clusters the surviving articles into themes and drafts the brief, keeping each claim tied to a source URL.
  5. 5The draft and a sources table are written to a new dated Coda page.
  6. 6The page link is the final output, ready to share.
