The problem it solves

Keeping up with new AI research means scrolling through hundreds of new papers a week, and most of them aren't relevant to you. You end up either ignoring the field entirely or losing hours trying to figure out what's actually worth reading.

Who it fits

Founders, product leaders, or anyone who wants to stay current on AI without doing the research themselves.

How it works

  1. Fetches newly published AI and machine learning paper abstracts from arXiv every week
  2. AI tags each paper with its topic and estimated impact
  3. Stores the papers in a searchable database
  4. An AI agent reviews the week's papers to identify the most important trends
  5. Emails you a concise summary with links to the most relevant papers
What you get

AI research trends explained in plain English

You get a weekly email summarizing the AI research papers that matter most, written in plain English with links to each one.

What you get

A weekly email summarizing the week's key AI research trends with links to the original papers.

What you need

A Weaviate database, API keys for OpenRouter and OpenAI, and an email account that can send outgoing mail.

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.
