Weekly Category-Shift Brief from Brave Search Trends
Every Monday, runs a Brave Search sweep across your category's seed queries, clusters newly surfacing terms into emerging themes.

What it does
Each week this workflow scans Brave Search results for a fixed set of category seed queries, isolates terms and phrases that are newly appearing or rising versus the prior run, clusters them into named emerging themes, and writes a clean, ranked brief into a Notion database so your team starts the week knowing what shifted.
When to use it
Use it when you own a market or product category and need a repeatable signal on where attention is moving — new competitors, feature language, buyer vocabulary — without manually trawling search every Monday. Best for PMMs, strategy, and founder-led research.
How it works
- 1A Monday-morning schedule fires the run.
- 2Brave Search executes each seed query and returns fresh result snippets and titles.
- 3An OpenAI step extracts candidate terms, then clusters them into emerging themes with a one-line rationale and a novelty score.
- 4A logic step keeps only themes above the novelty threshold and drops stale repeats from last week.
- 5A Notion step appends the ranked brief as a dated page in your research database.
