Expected Result
A daily automated briefing delivered to your inbox or Slack covering new trends, competitor moves, and relevant news in your niche.
Recommended Tools
Define Your Monitoring Keywords
Use Perplexity to identify the 20–30 most important keywords, brands, and topics in your niche. These form your monitoring universe.
Set Up Brand24 Monitoring
Create a Brand24 project with your keyword list. Configure alerts for volume spikes, sentiment shifts, and influencer mentions. Set up daily digest delivery.
Add Newsletter Intelligence
Subscribe to 5–10 industry newsletters and set up a dedicated email folder. Use Superhuman's AI summaries or Claude to batch-process them each morning in 10 minutes.
Automate the Daily Digest
Build a Make or Zapier workflow that pulls Brand24 alerts, top social mentions, and RSS feed items overnight and compiles them into a single Notion page or Slack message each morning.
Act on Trends Fast
When a trend surfaces, use Perplexity to research it in 10 minutes and ChatGPT to draft a reactive LinkedIn post or article angle while it's still early.
