🛠️ The Playbook — AI-Powered Publisher Tracker
Mission Monitor every deal, licensing arrangement, or partnership publishers strike with AI companies—summarised into a weekly digest for your leadership team.
Difficulty Medium | Build time 60–75 min
ROI BD, comms, and legal teams save ≈ 8 h/week scanning the trades.
Step | Action |
|---|---|
1 | Trigger – Zapier Schedule → every Friday 9am. |
2 | RSS/API Sources – Scrape Forbes, TechCrunch, Reuters, and trade newsletters for “AI + publishers” deals. |
3 | Claude 3.5 Sonnet – Prompt: |
4 | Google Docs – Save digest in |
5 | Slack Push – DM #exec-updates with top 3 deals + doc link. |
6 | Notion Sync – Update living database of AI–publisher agreements. |
7 | Fail-safe – If sources return nothing, auto-log “No new deals this week.” |
Pro tip: Add a column for “impact score” (0–5) based on reach and licensing terms so execs can scan at a glance.
