The problem it solves

You need to keep tabs on new research papers or reports across several publisher websites, but manually browsing each site takes hours and it's easy to miss something. Report links aren't always labeled clearly, so scanning pages by eye is slow and unreliable.

Who it fits

Analysts, researchers, or teams who need to stay current on reports published across multiple sources.

How it works

  1. The system reads a list of publication sources from a Google Sheet
  2. It visits each site and converts the page into clean text
  3. GPT reviews the page to find downloadable reports, even unlabeled ones
  4. It checks each finding is a valid, working link before saving it
  5. The report title, link, and description are added to the spreadsheet
What you get

New reports you never had to hunt for

You get a live list of every new report published across the websites you track, without watching those pages yourself.

What you get

An organized spreadsheet library of the latest reports found across your tracked sources.

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.
