What it does

Detects how the conversation around a category is shifting over time. Each month it collects fresh Brave coverage, summarizes the current dominant narratives, reads back the previous month's stored brief from Coda, and asks OpenAI to produce a diff: which themes gained momentum, which declined, and which are brand new, each backed by sources from the current month.

When to use it

You need to show trajectory, not just a snapshot, in a category you cover monthly, so leadership sees direction of travel. Good for strategy, research, and content-planning teams.

How it works

  1. 1A monthly schedule triggers the run.
  2. 2Brave Search collects the past month's category press.
  3. 3A Coda read pulls the prior month's stored narrative brief.
  4. 4A logic step pairs current coverage with the prior baseline.
  5. 5OpenAI drafts a rise/fade/emerging narrative diff with cited evidence.
  6. 6The comparison report is written to Coda as this month's new baseline.
