The problem it solves

Your inbox fills up with newsletters you subscribed to for good reasons, but there is never enough time to open them all. Important updates get buried under promotional noise, so you end up skimming subject lines and hoping you did not miss anything.

Who it fits

A business owner or manager who subscribes to industry newsletters but rarely has time to read them.

How it works

  1. Checks your inbox every hour for new newsletter emails
  2. Pulls out the key points from each one and saves them to a spreadsheet
  3. Collects the week's saved summaries on your chosen day
  4. Emails you a single digest covering everything you subscribed to
What you get

Newsletter highlights without opening your inbox

You get one clean weekly email summarizing everything worth knowing from the newsletters piling up in your inbox.

What you get

A weekly email digest that summarizes everything worth knowing from your newsletter subscriptions.

What you need

A Gmail account, a Google Sheets 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.
