The problem it solves

Keeping up with the news while running your business means scrolling through too many headlines to find what actually matters. Sharing a useful update with your team means someone has to read, summarize, and send it themselves.

Who it fits

Teams or professionals who want a regular, digestible news update without reading full articles.

How it works

  1. On a set schedule, the system fetches the latest top headlines
  2. AI summarizes them into a short digest of key points
  3. It reads the list of recipients from a spreadsheet
  4. It emails the summary to everyone on that list
What you get

Mornings your team starts already informed

You get a short, easy-to-read digest of today's top headlines delivered straight to your team's inbox every morning.

What you get

A short email digest of summarized news sent to your recipient list.

What you need

A news data API key, an OpenAI API key, a Google Sheets account, 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.
