# Create weekly research brief PDFs with Brave Search, Firecrawl, Claude, PDF.co, Gmail and Google Drive

> Quick overview This workflow runs weekly, searches selected topics with Brave Search, scrapes the top results with Firecrawl, and uses Anthropic Claude to write a cited weekly research brief. It formats the brief as HTML, converts it to a PDF with PDF.co, emails it via Gmail, and archives it to Google Drive. How it works 1. Runs weekly on a Monday 07:00 schedule and loads brief settings like topics, result limits, branding, and delivery targets. 2. Splits the comma-separated topic list and searches each topic in Brave Search using the past-week freshness filter. 3. Selects up to the configured number of valid web results per topic, assigns source IDs, and carries topic metadata forward. 4. Scrapes each result URL with Firecrawl, cleans and truncates the extracted Markdown (falling back to the search snippet if the page has no text), and aggregates all sources into one dataset. 5. Sends the aggregated sources to Anthropic Claude to produce a structured JSON brief with a two-sentence sum
