How the work actually flows

It branches. Exactly one path is taken; a person is alerted when a step fails.

The problem it solves

Keeping up with industry news means skimming dozens of articles a week, most of which aren't even relevant. Your team either misses important updates or wastes time reading full articles that could have been a two-line summary.

Who it fits

Operational or product leaders and teams who need to stay on top of industry news without reading everything themselves.

How it works

  1. A new article appears in your news feed
  2. AI reads the article and generates a short summary with key points
  3. If the summary succeeds, it's posted to your Slack channel
  4. If it fails, the article is emailed to a reviewer instead
  5. Your team gets a steady stream of digestible news updates in Slack
What you get

Industry news summarized and waiting in Slack

You get bite-sized summaries of new industry articles delivered straight to your Slack channel, so your team stays current without reading every piece.

What you get

A running feed of short, readable news summaries posted directly to your team's Slack channel.

What you need

An RSS news feed, a Rightbrain AI account, a Slack workspace, and a Gmail account for backup review.

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.
