The problem it solves

You'd like a daily dose of space photography in your inbox, but remembering to check NASA's site every day isn't going to happen. You end up missing most days entirely.

Who it fits

Space enthusiasts, teachers, or anyone who wants a daily science-themed email.

How it works

  1. Each day, the system checks NASA's astronomy picture feed
  2. It pulls the latest image and description
  3. An email is formatted with the picture and details
  4. The email is sent to your inbox
What you get

Mornings that start with a stunning photo

You get NASA's astronomy picture of the day delivered straight to your inbox every morning, complete with the full description.

What you get

A daily email containing NASA's astronomy picture and description.

What you need

An email account with SMTP access, such as Gmail.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
