Why this helps
Competitor research often starts as an issue and then gets delayed by other urgent work.
- Start launch research from the issue where it was captured.
- Find Hacker News posts discussing the product or launch.
- Get a summary that helps decide whether to investigate further.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Hacker News to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation or ask Notis to search HN when launch-related issues are created.
- 3Use one plain-language instruction to search for the named product or launch and summarize relevant community reaction.
- 4Pick the Linear Issue Created trigger and a run-report channel.
- 5Test with a real launch or competitor issue.
Questions about this workflow
Will this cover every competitor mention automatically?
Describe launch and competitor references in the prompt and check the workflow against a real example.
Can it judge whether the reaction is representative?
It can summarize the posts it finds, but a set of HN discussions should not be treated as representative market research.
