What it does

Flags only the patent filings that actually matter to your roadmap. Each new filing is scored for relevance against your core technology areas, and anything above the threshold triggers an immediate Slack alert so your team can react before competitors get ahead.

When to use it

Use when you cannot wait for the quarterly brief — for filings that could affect freedom-to-operate or signal a direct competitive threat in your active product areas.

How it works

  1. 1A new-record event in the Airtable patent ledger triggers the workflow.
  2. 2An OpenAI step scores the filing's relevance to your supplied roadmap keywords on a 0-100 scale and explains the score.
  3. 3A logic branch checks whether the score crosses your alert threshold; low-relevance filings exit silently.
  4. 4For high-relevance hits, the workflow posts a Slack alert with the patent title, assignee, relevance reasoning, and source link.
