What it does
On a weekly schedule it sweeps the web for patent filings published in the last 7 days that match your technology keywords, groups the results by assignee (the company that owns the filing), and posts a single ranked digest to a Slack channel. Product and strategy see, at a glance, which competitors filed the most and in which sub-areas.
When to use it
Use it when you want a low-effort standing pulse on competitive R&D without anyone manually checking patent databases. Best for teams tracking 3-15 named competitors plus the broader keyword space in one focused tech domain.
How it works
- 1A Monday-morning schedule fires the run.
- 2An Exa search pulls patent filings and patent-office pages matching your keyword set from the past week.
- 3A logic step deduplicates results and clusters them by assignee, counting filings per company.
- 4An OpenAI step writes a one-line plain-English summary of each cluster's technical theme.
- 5The digest is formatted with assignee, count, and themes, ranked by volume.
- 6The final digest posts to a Slack channel for the product team.
