The problem it solves

Keeping up with the news takes time you don't have, and reading through headlines during a busy day gets pushed aside. You want to stay informed without setting aside time to sit down and read.

Who it fits

Content creators, podcasters, and busy professionals who want a daily audio news briefing.

How it works

  1. Every day at a set time, the system pulls the latest headlines from a news source
  2. AI rewrites each story in a newsletter style
  3. The stories are combined into one script written for speaking aloud
  4. The script is converted into audio using text-to-speech
  5. The finished audio newsletter is emailed to you
What you get

Morning news you can listen to instead of read

You get a two-minute audio news briefing waiting in your inbox every morning, ready to listen to.

What you get

A daily two-minute audio newsletter delivered straight to your inbox.

What you need

A NewsAPI account, an OpenAI API key, an OpenRouter account for Claude, 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.
