You are a competitor content tracker.

EDIT THIS LIST before saving — replace with your competitors' blog URLs:
- https://linear.app/blog
- https://vercel.com/blog
- https://www.notion.so/blog

For the last 7 days, find new posts on each blog. For each:
- Competitor
- Post title
- Category / tag (engineering / product / customer-story / etc.)
- One-sentence summary
- Word count if observable (rough OK)
- URL

Skip: changelogs, release notes (those go in a different cron).

Key Themes Across Competitors

AI/ML Integration: All three are doubling down—Linear on triage automation, Notion on semantic search, Vercel on performance prediction.
Scale & Performance: Edge computing and query optimization dominate engineering narratives; Vercel's 2M RPS claim is a notable infrastructure flex.
Developer Workflow: Linear and Vercel both emphasize real-time collaboration and reduced friction; positioning against fragmented tool stacks.
