Turn RSS news feeds into a summarized daily digest automatically

New articles from an RSS feed are summarized by AI and sent to your team as a digest, with duplicates skipped.

How the work actually flows

A straight line. Runs once per each new article in feed.

The problem it solves

Keeping up with a busy news feed or industry blog means scrolling through the same stories over and over, and it's easy to miss what's actually new or repeat something you already shared. Manually summarizing articles for your team eats up time you could spend elsewhere.

Who it fits

Teams that monitor industry news, competitor blogs, or press coverage and want a clean digest instead of a raw feed.

How it works

  1. The system checks a chosen news or blog feed on a set schedule
  2. It compares new items against everything already sent, so nothing repeats
  3. AI summarizes each new item
  4. The summaries are formatted into a digest
  5. The digest is delivered to your team's messaging channel
What you get

Industry news distilled into one digest

Your team receives a clean daily digest of new articles from the feeds you follow, summarized and free of duplicates.

What you get

A recurring digest of new, summarized articles delivered automatically with no repeats.

What you need

An RSS feed source, an AI model subscription, and a messaging destination such as Slack or Discord.

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.
