The problem it solves

Keeping a news channel or briefing up to date means constantly reading articles, picking out the key facts, and writing them up in a consistent format. Doing this by hand all day isn't realistic, and duplicate stories make your feed look sloppy. You want fresh, readable updates without babysitting the process.

Who it fits

Solo publishers, media monitors, and Telegram channel owners who post regular news updates.

How it works

  1. New articles arrive from your RSS feed
  2. AI summarizes each one into plain bullet points and assigns a category
  3. A short headline is generated for each story
  4. Duplicate stories are filtered out automatically
  5. The finished update is posted to your Telegram channel
What you get

News updates without opening a single site

You get a clean, categorized bullet-point summary of the day's news delivered straight to your Telegram channel.

What you get

A steady stream of categorized, bullet-point news updates in Telegram.

What you need

An RSS feed source, a Telegram bot and channel, and an AI model or API key.

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.
