What it does

Monitors Brave Search for fresh mentions of your competitors and category terms, then routes the signal into your team's actual workflow. An LLM classifies every new mention as a competitive threat, a market opportunity, or noise, and for the actionable ones it opens a Linear issue pre-labeled and assigned to the right team, so trends become tracked work instead of a Slack scroll.

When to use it

For product and competitive-intelligence teams who want market signal to land as triaged tasks. Use it when you need accountability — each meaningful trend becomes an owned ticket — rather than just awareness.

How it works

  1. 1A cron fires twice daily.
  2. 2Brave Search returns recent mentions for each competitor and category query.
  3. 3New mentions are deduped against previously seen URLs.
  4. 4OpenAI classifies each as threat, opportunity, or noise with a one-line rationale.
  5. 5A logic step filters out noise and groups the rest by team.
  6. 6For each actionable cluster, a Linear issue is created with labels and assignee.
