Why this helps
Neurodivergent founders often get stuck researching in multiple tools, losing focus and forgetting key context. Getting distracted by tab-switching delays decision-making.
- Reduces context-switching between tools
- Surfaces market context instantly
- Captures research momentum without manual follow-up
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect your Linear workspace and Currents API account to Notis via the portal (one-time setup for both integrations).
- 2Create a new automation: tell Notis 'When a research issue is created, fetch trending news articles related to the topic.'
- 3Choose the trigger: Issue Created.
- 4Select a Slack or email channel where Notis should report each run.
- 5Test by creating a research issue in Linear and verifying that news articles appear in your channel within seconds.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know what topic to search for?
Notis reads the issue title and description to infer the research topic, then fetches relevant news automatically.
Can I customize which news sources are included?
The plain-language instruction in your automation can specify categories, industries, or keywords -- just tell Notis your preference.
