The problem it solves

Keeping track of daily news for your business or clients means checking multiple sites every morning and copying anything useful into a spreadsheet. That habit eats up time and is easy to forget on busy days. You want a reliable morning briefing without doing the research yourself.

Who it fits

A business, agency, or team that needs a daily news briefing without manually researching it each morning.

How it works

  1. Every morning at a set time, the system wakes up automatically
  2. Perplexity AI searches for the latest news and returns headlines, sources, and links
  3. The results are cleaned up and organized
  4. Each story is saved into a MongoDB database for later reference
  5. A summary email lands in your inbox confirming what was collected
What you get

Morning briefings you never have to research yourself

You get a fresh roundup of the day's top news waiting in your inbox every morning, already organized and saved for reference.

What you get

A stored, searchable archive of daily news plus a daily summary email.

What you need

A Perplexity AI account, a MongoDB database, and a Gmail account.

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.
