Bring credible research into product decisions
Turn a product question into a concise evidence brief before it becomes another open loop.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Search Google Scholar
Searches google scholar via serpapi for academic literature, papers, articles, and citations based on a query.
Why this helps
Founders often postpone research because finding credible sources competes with urgent operational work.
- Create a repeatable research habit
- Ground decisions in relevant literature
- Link product questions to observed reliability issues
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Pingdom and Serpapi to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create a recurring automation in the portal or ask Notis in plain language.
- 3Use one instruction: search Google Scholar for the named product question, summarize the most relevant sources, and relate practical implications to recent Pingdom observations where appropriate.
- 4Choose a monthly or weekly trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real decision question.
Questions about this workflow
Is this academic research only?
The Scholar action focuses on academic literature, so it works best for questions with research-backed evidence.
Will it make the product decision?
No. It prepares a focused evidence brief for the founder or team to evaluate.
