The problem it solves

Tracking content across multiple RSS feeds means checking each source and copying article links by hand. It's tedious, easy to miss updates, and duplicate entries clutter your records.

Who it fits

Content teams or researchers who curate articles from multiple RSS feeds and want a clean, centralized log.

How it works

  1. A list of RSS feed URLs is checked to confirm each one is valid
  2. The latest articles are pulled from each working feed
  3. Article details, including the link, are collected
  4. Each article is written as a new row in your Google Sheet
What you get

Article links that land in your sheet automatically

You get every new article from your RSS feeds logged into a Google Sheet automatically, with duplicates filtered out for you.

What you get

An updated Google Sheet listing every new article and its link.

What you need

A Google Sheets 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.
