Weekly competitive intelligence digest for your competitor list

Build me an agent workflow that produces a weekly competitive intelligence digest for a list of named competitors I configure. Run it on a cron trigger every Monday at 8:00 AM America/New_York.

Inputs the workflow should accept on the agent input form: (1) a list of competitor objects, each with a display name and one or more official domains (for example name = "Acme", domains = ["acme.com", "blog.acme.com"]); (2) the Slack channel to post the digest in, defaulting to #competitive-intel; (3) the Notion parent page id under which weekly archives should be filed (a page titled "Competitive Intelligence"); (4) an optional override list of topic categories to track.

For each competitor in the list, call Parallel Create Task Run to do focused web research on the past 7 days. Use a source_policy with after_date set to (today minus 7 days) so results are constrained to the last week, and include the competitor's official domains in include_domains where helpful. Ask the task to return, with citations, any: new product or feature launches, blog posts and other announcements, pricing or packaging changes, notable hires and executive moves, and funding or M&A news. Prefer a research-grade processor (core or pro) so outputs carry citations in the basis field. Use the blocking result endpoint rather than busy-polling.

After each Task Run completes, use Parallel Search to backfill any obvious gaps the task missed (for example if pricing or hiring sections are empty, run a targeted search with a date-bounded query). Combine the task output and any backfill into a per-competitor findings object.

Synthesize the per-competitor findings into a single digest with this structure: an executive summary at the top (3 to 6 bullets calling out the most consequential moves of the week across the whole field), then one section per competitor with subheaders for Launches and announcements, Pricing and packaging, People and leadership, Funding and M&A, and Other notable. Every claim in every section must end with a linked source URL pulled from Parallel's citations. If a competitor has zero material updates for the week, skip the section entirely rather than writing a "no updates" placeholder.

Once the digest is assembled, post it to the configured Slack channel using Slack Send a Message. Format it with Slack mrkdwn (single asterisks for bold, <url|text> for links, not standard Markdown). Lead with the executive summary, then the per-competitor sections.

Then call Notion Create a Page to archive the digest under the configured Competitive Intelligence parent page. Title the page "Competitive Intelligence — Week of {Monday's date}". Convert the digest content into Notion blocks (heading_2 for the executive summary and for each competitor, heading_3 for the topic subheaders, bulleted_list_item for items, with link annotations on every source). Use Notion-Version: 2026-03-11.

Quality bar: never invent facts; if Parallel returns nothing for a competitor, that competitor is skipped. Every bullet must carry at least one cited URL. Keep the executive summary genuinely executive (no laundry lists). If the whole week is quiet across every competitor, still post a short message in Slack and create the Notion archive so the team knows the workflow ran.
