The problem it solves

Newsletters pile up unread in your inbox because you never have a quiet moment to sit and read them. You want the information, but not the time it takes to scroll and read through every issue.

Who it fits

A busy professional or business owner who subscribes to newsletters but rarely has time to read them.

How it works

  1. The system checks your inbox for unread newsletters
  2. AI summarizes and rewrites the content as a natural conversation
  3. Two AI voices record the conversation as audio
  4. The audio clips are combined into a single podcast-style file
  5. The finished audio file is emailed back to you
What you get

Newsletters caught up on hands-free

You get your unread newsletters turned into a two-voice podcast you can listen to whenever you have a spare moment.

What you get

An audio file of your newsletters, ready to listen to like a podcast.

What you need

A Gmail account, an OpenAI API key, and an ElevenLabs 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.
