Get one weekly digest instead of dozens of unread newsletters

Every Saturday, unread newsletters in your Gmail get summarized by AI into one digest email.

How the work actually flows

A straight line. Runs once per each unread newsletter email.

Pattern: Multiple Instances with a priori Run-Time Knowledge (14)

The problem it solves

Newsletters pile up unread in your inbox because you never have time to actually read them. You know there's useful information in there, but scrolling through dozens of emails to find it just isn't worth it.

Who it fits

Anyone subscribed to multiple newsletters who wants the key points without reading every email.

How it works

  1. Every Saturday at noon, the automation checks your Gmail newsletter label for unread emails from the past week
  2. It skips anything empty or too short to matter
  3. Each newsletter is sent to AI to be summarized into key insights and action items
  4. The original emails are marked as read and the summaries are combined
  5. You receive one formatted digest email covering everything for the week
What you get

One tidy digest instead of a flooded inbox

You get one Saturday email that pulls together everything worth knowing from your newsletters, so nothing important slips by.

What you get

A single weekly email digest summarizing all your newsletters from that week.

What you need

A Gmail account, a Perplexity AI account, and a Mailgun 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.
