The problem it solves

Keeping up with industry trends means scrolling through endless Medium articles, most of which are clickbait or repeats of the same idea. You want the handful of stories that actually matter, organized and ready to read, not another open tab you'll never get back to.

Who it fits

A content marketer, product manager, or researcher who wants a clean digest of industry news without reading through noise.

How it works

  1. On a set schedule, the system scans a chosen Medium topic page for the latest articles
  2. AI reviews the results and removes duplicates, spam, and clickbait
  3. It sorts the remaining stories into clear categories
  4. A new Google Doc is created with the curated report, organized section by section
  5. Your team gets a Slack message when the report is ready to read
What you get

A curated digest instead of raw noise

You get a daily report of the best industry articles on Medium, sorted into clear categories and delivered straight to a Google Doc.

What you get

A formatted Google Doc report of curated, categorized industry articles, plus a Slack notification.

What you need

A BrowserAct account, an OpenRouter API key, a Google Docs account, and a Slack workspace.

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.
