What it does

This workflow turns the daily firehose of app-store reviews into a clean, themed product backlog. It pulls recent reviews, isolates the ones that actually contain a feature request, groups them into themes, and pushes each theme into Linear so product managers see demand signals instead of raw text.

When to use it

Run this when your app collects more reviews than anyone can read, and feature ideas are getting lost in the noise. It is ideal for product teams who want App Store and Play Store wishes to land directly in their planning tool, ranked by how often users ask.

How it works

  1. 1A daily schedule fires the run.
  2. 2Apify scrapes the latest App Store and Google Play reviews for your app IDs.
  3. 3A filter drops reviews with no actionable request (ratings-only, bug-only, spam).
  4. 4OpenAI extracts the underlying ask from each review and clusters them into named themes with a one-line summary, mention count, and average star rating.
  5. 5A dedup check matches each theme against existing Linear issues by title similarity.
  6. 6New themes become Linear issues; existing themes get a comment incrementing the request count.
  7. 7The run posts a digest of the top themes to the product channel.
