What is this workflow?
"Research a market" turns a market you need to understand into a standing, tagged brief instead of a one-off report. Give a teammate the specific questions you need answered — not a general topic — and it researches against them, tagging every finding by confidence: multi-source, single-source, or inferred. The brief lives in Notion as a living reference, and once it exists, the teammate keeps tracking the market weekly, reporting only what's changed since the last check and updating the brief in place instead of rewriting it from scratch.
How to use this workflow
Hire a research teammate
Open AI Teammates in the sidebar, click Hire AI Teammate, and pick the Researcher template. The default bio is generic fact-finding. Replace it on the Profile step so it knows this job is a standing, tagged brief, not a one-off answer:
Confirm the name and click Create teammate. They land in their own channel, which is where you'll send everything below. More on hiring →
Give it your core questions, not a topic
A specific list produces a structured brief; a vague topic produces a generic one:
For example:
Connect Notion
The brief lives here as a living, taggable reference that gets updated in place, not rewritten from scratch. Connect Notion →
Turn the tracking into an automation
Once the first brief exists, open Automations in the sidebar and click Create via Chat. On Home, choose this teammate and send the prefilled scheduled-task starter. When the interview asks what to schedule, answer with the recurring job below to keep it current instead of letting it age out:
Nothing here needs your approval: research and drafting the brief happen inside your workspace and Notion, and this flow doesn't send anything externally. See Control for what does pause for sign-off.
Tips for Better Results
| Tip | Description |
|---|---|
| Give specific questions, not a topic | A specific list (size and growth, leading players, business models, the gap for a new entrant) produces a structured brief; a vague topic produces a generic one. |
| Weigh findings by their confidence tag | Every finding is tagged multi-source, single-source, or inferred — treat a single-source or inferred finding differently than one confirmed across sources. |
| Connect Notion before the first brief | The brief lives there as a living, taggable reference that gets updated in place instead of rewritten from scratch. |
| Turn tracking into an automation once a brief exists | The weekly check reports only what changed since the last check, so the brief doesn't quietly go stale a month after it's written. |

Research
Turn a vague ask into a sourced, checked answer, a market sized against real questions, competitors tracked on a locked scope, a growth number gate-checked before it ships.
Watch competitors weekly
Lock 3-5 ASINs and the dimensions that matter, then let a browser-driven collection run scrape what has no API: a daily diff, an alert the moment something changes, not a full re-read of every page.
