AI AGENTS
Weekly Literature Scan into a Notion Knowledge Base
On a weekly schedule an agent searches academic and web sources for new work on your tracked topics, deduplicates against your knowledge base.
How it runs
The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

What it does
Maintains a living literature review. Each week the agent searches the web and academic sources for new papers, reports, and articles on the topics your team tracks, summarizes each with a citation, and files them as structured pages in a Notion knowledge base, skipping anything already captured.
When to use it
When a research, policy, or product team needs to stay current on a defined set of topics and wants a curated, deduplicated, cited archive rather than a noisy feed.
How it works
- 1A weekly scheduled trigger fires.
- 2The agent reads the list of tracked topics from a Notion config page.
- 3Exa runs neural searches for recent sources on each topic.
- 4A logic step dedupes results against existing entries in the Notion database by title and URL.
- 5OpenAI writes a structured summary for each new source: key finding, method, and relevance, with citation.
- 6Each summary is created as a new page in the Notion knowledge base.
