• Weekly competitor report — Schedule weekly scans, aggregate results, and send a summary email to your team or client.
• Influencer discovery pipeline — Scan brand mentions, filter by engagement score, enrich creators, and add to a Google Sheet for review.
• Crisis alert — Monitor for negative sentiment spikes and trigger Slack or PagerDuty alerts when thresholds are breached.
• Deal enrichment automation — When a new lead appears in Dealflow, automatically enrich and generate a dossier.
