The problem it solves

Staying current on AI industry news means scrolling through tech sites every day, and most of what you find isn't even relevant to your business. That manual browsing eats into time better spent on actual work. By the time you catch up on the news, your team has already missed the conversation.

Who it fits

AI product teams, marketers, or executives who need to stay current on AI industry news without browsing manually.

How it works

  1. On a daily schedule, the system pulls the latest TechCrunch articles
  2. OpenAI reviews each article and filters out anything not related to AI
  3. Relevant articles are summarized into three key bullet points
  4. The summary, article title, and link are posted to your Slack channel
What you get

AI industry news you never have to hunt for

You get short daily summaries of the latest AI news posted straight to your Slack channel.

What you get

A daily Slack message with short, readable summaries of the day's AI-related TechCrunch articles.

What you need

A Slack workspace, an OpenAI API key, and a web scraping service such as Firecrawl.

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.
