The problem it solves

Google Alerts can flood your inbox with dozens of separate emails a day, each one just a headline and a link. You end up either ignoring them completely or spending time clicking through articles that turn out to be irrelevant.

Who it fits

Executives, marketers, and researchers who use Google Alerts to track topics, competitors, or their industry.

How it works

  1. The automation checks your Gmail inbox for unread Google Alerts messages
  2. It pulls the article links out and scrapes the underlying web pages, stripping out ads and clutter
  3. AI summarizes each article into a short overview and groups them by topic
  4. You receive one polished email digest, and the original alert emails are marked as read
What you get

Alerts turned into one clean read

Your Google Alerts get bundled into a single daily digest with each article summarized and grouped by topic.

What you get

A single, organized daily email digest summarizing all your Google Alerts articles by topic.

What you need

A Gmail account and a Google Gemini 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.
