What it does

Runs a standing competitive-intelligence sweep across the companies you track and delivers one clean Slack digest a week. Each item is summarized in a sentence with a source link, so the team sees only what actually moved.

When to use it

Use it when you maintain a competitor list and want a low-noise, recurring pulse instead of ad-hoc Googling. Ideal for product, sales, and founder updates where stale or duplicate news erodes trust in the report.

How it works

  1. 1A weekly schedule fires the workflow with the configured competitor list.
  2. 2Perplexity searches each competitor for the past seven days of launches, pricing, and press, returning sourced results.
  3. 3A logic step deduplicates against last run's items and filters out anything immaterial or already reported.
  4. 4If no material updates remain, the workflow exits without posting to avoid empty noise.
  5. 5OpenAI groups the surviving items by competitor and writes a one-line, cited summary per item.
  6. 6The formatted digest is posted to the designated Slack channel.
