The problem it solves

Keeping up with AI news means scrolling through dozens of posts every day, most of which aren't worth your time. You either fall behind on what matters or waste an hour sifting through noise.

Who it fits

Founders, researchers, and marketers who want to stay current on AI news without the daily scroll.

How it works

  1. On a schedule, the system pulls the day's AI-tagged stories from Hacker News
  2. It filters for stories posted in the last 24 hours
  3. AI reads each story and writes a short summary with a link
  4. All summaries are combined into one styled email and sent to your inbox
What you get

AI news summarized before your coffee's ready

You get a clean email digest every morning summarizing the day's top AI stories, so you stay current without scrolling.

What you get

A single, clean HTML email digest of the day's top AI stories.

What you need

An OpenAI API key and an SMTP email account such as Gmail.

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.
