Why this helps
Reading many threads to understand community sentiment can consume the time needed for actual project work.
- Group recurring questions and viewpoints from relevant posts.
- Make a large discussion set easier to scan.
- Use project updates to refresh the summary when context evolves.

- 3Give Notis one instruction to search the project topic and summarize recurring questions, concerns, and viewpoints with links.
- 4Choose the Linear Project Update Posted trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a real project update and review whether the summary distinguishes observations from conclusions.
Questions about this workflow
