SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Preparing for networking events requires hours of manual research on speakers, companies, and topics, plus tedious data entry across CRM and knowledge-base tools. This Skill turns a pasted calendar invite into a reviewed research brief and synchronized records in Notion and HubSpot. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Entity Extraction & Triage: Parses events, people, companies, and topics from raw invite text, then deduplicates against existing Notion records and classifies each as NEW, REFRESH, or SKIP based on freshness thresholds. - Multi-Source Research: Researches topics, people, and companies using web search, Gmail correspondence history, prior Notion briefs, and a Supabase knowledge graph, with provenance-tagged evidence ledgers. - Structured Brief & CRM Writes: Produces a phone-glanceable Scan head brief with talking points, prioritization signals, and success criteria, then writes to five Notion databases and HubSpot contacts, companies, and notes. - Use Case: Paste a calendar invite for an AI meetup, approve the extracted entities and triage plan, review the research brief, and have all records created or refreshed in Notion and HubSpot automatically. ## Quick Start Paste a calendar invite for an upcoming event and ask the assistant to research it and prepare the event brief.

FAQPage Schema
How do I research an event from a calendar invite?

Paste the calendar invite text and the Skill extracts the event, people, companies, and topics, confirms them with you, then researches each entity via web search and Gmail. It presents a structured brief for approval before writing anything to Notion or HubSpot.

How does the Skill avoid creating duplicate records in Notion?

It canonicalizes company, person, and topic names, searches the relevant Notion databases for existing records, and classifies each entity as NEW, REFRESH, or SKIP based on how recently it was last researched. SKIP entities only get the new event added to their relations.

Does the event research write to HubSpot automatically?

It writes contacts, companies, and notes to HubSpot via MCP, but only after you review and approve the research brief. No external writes happen without explicit confirmation at the approval gate.

What sources does the speaker research use?

Speaker research checks Gmail for prior correspondence first, then uses web search for LinkedIn profiles, recent talks, articles, and podcast appearances. It produces personal and professional talking points plus prioritization signals for the event.

What happens when a company was already researched recently?

Companies researched within 14 days are skipped entirely, while those 15-60 days old get a light refresh covering only funding changes and recent news. Records older than 60 days receive a full re-research pass with merge semantics that preserve the audit trail.
