The problem it solves

Putting together a newsletter that says something new takes real research time, plus writing, plus finding or making an image, plus getting it sent to everyone. Doing that every single week or month is one of the first things to slip when your schedule gets busy.

Who it fits

Content creators, marketers, or agencies who send a recurring newsletter to clients or subscribers.

How it works

  1. On a set schedule, the system picks the next unused topic from your list
  2. AI researches the topic and writes the newsletter content
  3. AI generates a matching image for the newsletter
  4. Your client or subscriber list is pulled from a spreadsheet
  5. The finished newsletter with image is emailed to everyone on the list
What you get

Newsletters drafted and illustrated for your review

You get a fully researched newsletter draft with a matching image, ready for you to look over before it goes out.

What you get

A researched, written, and illustrated newsletter sent to your full list.

What you need

A Google Workspace account, an OpenAI account, a Perplexity account, and a Gmail 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.
