Monitor Industry Coverage and Generate Competitive Intelligence
Automatically track media coverage of key industry figures and competitors, then generate weekly intelligence reports for executive teams.
Workflow Steps
Google Alerts
Set up monitoring keywords
Create Google Alerts for key competitor names, industry terms, and trending topics (e.g., 'Sam Altman', 'OpenAI board', 'AI industry leaders'). Set to 'As-it-happens' delivery to your dedicated monitoring email.
Zapier
Trigger on new alerts
Connect your monitoring email to Zapier. Set up a trigger that activates when emails arrive from Google Alerts, filtering for alerts that contain high-priority keywords or come from top-tier publications.
OpenAI GPT-4
Analyze and summarize coverage
Send alert content to GPT-4 via Zapier with a prompt to extract key facts, sentiment analysis, potential business implications, and competitive insights. Request output in a structured format for easy scanning.
Slack
Post to intelligence channel
Automatically post GPT-4's analysis to a dedicated Slack channel for your leadership team. Include original article links, sentiment indicators, and priority levels (High/Medium/Low) based on business relevance.
Airtable
Build intelligence database
Log all coverage data in an Airtable base with fields for date, source, sentiment, competitor, topic, and business impact. This creates a searchable database for quarterly strategy reviews and trend analysis.
