The problem it solves

Walking into a sales call without knowing what's happening at the company makes you look unprepared, but researching every meeting by hand takes time you don't have most mornings. You end up either skipping the research or scrambling five minutes before the call.

Who it fits

Sales reps and account managers who take calls with multiple companies each week.

How it works

  1. Every morning, the system checks your Google Calendar for meetings
  2. For each company on your calendar, it searches for recent news
  3. It gathers headlines, short descriptions, and article links
  4. You receive a separate email for each meeting with the latest news on that company
What you get

Company news you read before every call

You get a fresh news briefing on every company you're meeting, delivered to your inbox each morning.

What you get

A personalized email per meeting with current news headlines and links about the company you're about to talk to.

What you need

A Google Calendar account, a Gmail account, and a news API subscription.

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.
