Brave Sweep plus Exa Deep-Read Opportunity Brief
Takes a topic, sweeps Brave Search for breadth, uses Exa to find and read the highest-quality deep sources, and produces an evidence-backed opportunity brief in Notion.

What it does
Combines two search engines for complementary coverage: Brave Search casts a wide net for what's trending right now, while Exa's semantic search and content retrieval pulls the substantive long-form sources behind the noise. An LLM reads both layers, clusters them into opportunities, and writes a structured brief with claims tied back to specific sources, published directly to a Notion page.
When to use it
When a topic warrants more than headlines — you want a researched brief you could hand to a stakeholder, with reasoning grounded in actual article content rather than titles alone. Run it ad hoc when scoping a new market or evaluating a bet.
How it works
- 1You trigger the workflow with a topic and angle.
- 2Brave Search returns broad recent coverage for breadth.
- 3Exa finds semantically relevant deep sources and retrieves their full text.
- 4OpenAI synthesizes both into named opportunity clusters with cited evidence.
- 5A formatter assembles a brief: summary, clusters, risks, sources.
- 6The brief is written to a new Notion page for sharing.
