The problem it solves

Keeping up with NASA's space weather reports takes time you don't have, and turning technical data into something your students or team can actually understand is even harder. You end up either skipping updates entirely or spending time rewriting jargon into plain language.

Who it fits

A science educator, school, or space enthusiast group that wants to share space weather updates without manually researching them.

How it works

  1. Every few hours, the system checks NASA's space weather database for new storm alerts
  2. When a new alert appears, it pulls the detailed report
  3. AI rewrites the science into an easy-to-understand explanation with a catchy subject line
  4. The finished newsletter is emailed automatically to your subscriber list
What you get

Space weather alerts explained in plain language

Your subscribers receive a clear, easy to read newsletter whenever NASA reports new space weather activity, written and sent automatically.

What you get

A ready-to-read newsletter email explaining the latest space weather event in plain language.

What you need

A Gmail account and an OpenAI 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.
