The problem it solves

You want to keep your community or team informed on specific topics, but manually searching the news and writing a digest every week always gets skipped when things get busy. Important coverage gets missed.

Who it fits

Community managers, SEO professionals, or team leads tracking news on specific topics.

How it works

  1. A weekly schedule triggers the automation every Monday
  2. It looks up your watch topics and searches Google News for the top articles
  3. It scrapes each article and cleans up the text
  4. AI writes a short summary for each topic with the source and date
  5. The finished digest posts automatically to your Discord channel
What you get

News roundups you never compile yourself

Your community gets a curated news digest on your chosen topics every Monday, posted straight to Discord for everyone to see.

What you get

A written news digest posted to Discord, organized by topic with sources and summaries.

What you need

A NocoDB account, a SerpAPI account, a Firecrawl account, an Anthropic API key, and a Discord bot.

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.
