Weekly industry brief in Notion with Slack recap

Every Monday at 7am ET, run an agent that publishes a weekly executive brief on a chosen industry or market topic. The topic is configurable when I install the workflow (for example: humanoid robotics, AI agent infrastructure, climate tech, fintech, or B2B SaaS GTM). Default the topic to AI agents if I do not set one.

Step 1: research. Use the Internet Search tool to gather what happened in the last seven days. Run several focused queries that together cover: funding and M&A, product launches and major releases, regulation and policy, notable hires and org changes, competitive moves and partnerships, and any well-cited analyst or operator commentary. Prefer recent, credible sources. Keep the raw findings with URLs.

Step 2: synthesize a one-page executive brief written for a busy business leader, not a developer. Structure it as: (a) a one-line headline of the week, (b) three to five top developments, each one bullet with a one-line implication, (c) two or three emerging themes the agent is seeing across stories, (d) a short hype-versus-durable-signal call-out that flags one or two things being overstated and one or two things being underrated, and (e) a practical so-what section with two or three concrete moves a leader in this space could make this week. End with a short list of cited sources as plain links.

Step 3: publish to Notion. Use Notion's Create a Page operation to add a new page to a Notion database I will configure (for example, an 'Industry Briefs' database). Title the page with the topic and the brief's week, like 'AI agents weekly brief, week of June 1, 2026'. Use the Update Page Content as Markdown operation to write the full brief body so headings, bullets, and links render cleanly.

Step 4: recap in Slack. Using Slack Bot, send a short message to a configured Slack channel with the headline of the week, three bullet takeaways, and a link to the new Notion page. Keep it under ten lines so it reads cleanly on mobile. Do not post the full brief inline.

Quality bar: no hype-y language, no filler, no padding. If a section has nothing real to report this week, say so in one line instead of inventing material. Always cite sources and avoid claims that are not supported by what was found in search.
