Situation
You want repeatable intelligence work — a weekly competitive brief, a monthly synthesis of customer feedback, or a daily summary of new Slack signals. You want this to run automatically without you prompting it every time.
What you need
Steps
1. Open AI Chat and describe the workflow
``
I want to create a workflow that runs every Monday at 8am and does the following:
Can you build this workflow?
`
2. Review the workflow plan
Specky responds with a structured workflow plan showing:
Review and adjust: *"Change the schedule to Friday at 5pm"* or *"Also include G2 reviews in the research step."*
3. Approve and save
Click Save Workflow when satisfied. The workflow is versioned and stored in Workflows → Custom.
4. Test immediately
Click Run now to test the workflow before the first scheduled run. Review the output in your PM Inbox. If it's off, edit the workflow description and run again.
5. Monitor and refine
After a few runs, you'll see patterns in what's useful and what's noise. Edit the workflow directly in the Workflows view, or ask AI Chat to adjust it:
`
The Monday competitive workflow is generating too many low-value items.
Make it filter for moves that directly overlap with our [OKR] before including them.

Output
Variations
Customer feedback synthesis? Replace the competitive research steps with: *"Read new Slack messages in #customer-feedback, new Gong calls, and new Alex responses. Cluster by theme. Deliver a 5-item summary of the strongest signals."*
Sprint health check? *"Every Friday at 4pm, read the current Jira sprint. For each ticket marked done, check if there's a linked outcome metric. Flag any shipped tickets with no outcome tracking."*
Investor update prep? *"On the last Friday of every month, draft a 3-paragraph investor update using our validated experiments, shipped features, and OKR progress from the last 30 days."*
