What it does

This workflow keeps a living Coda table of competitor patent filings. For every new filing it captures the assignee, title, abstract, and filing date, then scores how closely the claimed technology overlaps your own roadmap so analysts can sort the highest-threat filings to the top.

When to use it

Use it when your competitive intelligence lives in Coda and you want patent activity to flow in continuously rather than a once-a-quarter dump. The overlap score lets a small team focus only on filings that touch their own product areas instead of reading every abstract.

How it works

  1. 1A weekly schedule starts the run.
  2. 2Exa retrieves recent patent filings across the competitor watchlist.
  3. 3OpenAI summarizes each filing and assigns a 0-100 overlap score against a roadmap description you provide.
  4. 4A filter discards filings scoring below a relevance threshold.
  5. 5Each qualifying filing is written as a structured row into the Coda tracker with assignee, theme, score, and link.
