The problem it solves

Monitoring multiple RSS feeds for useful content means scrolling through a lot of noise to find the few items worth your time. Manually summarizing and organizing what you find takes even longer.

Who it fits

Content curators, bloggers, and marketers tracking multiple content sources.

How it works

  1. On a schedule, the system checks your RSS feeds for new content
  2. It limits the batch to a manageable number of items
  3. Each item is enriched with extra detail
  4. AI reviews, summarizes, and categorizes each item step by step
  5. The results are added to a Google Sheet for easy tracking
What you get

Every feed item organized and ready to skim

You get every article from your tracked feeds summarized and sorted into categories inside one running spreadsheet.

What you get

A running Google Sheet of summarized, categorized content pulled from your feeds.

What you need

A Google Sheets account and an OpenAI API key.

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.
