The problem it solves

Writing a newsletter every week means constantly scanning for worthwhile articles and rewriting them in your own voice. It's easy to fall behind or skip a week entirely.

Who it fits

Small businesses and marketers who send a regular content newsletter.

How it works

  1. Checks your RSS feed every hour for new articles
  2. AI summarizes each new article in your chosen language
  3. AI rewrites the summary into a newsletter-style draft
  4. Saves the finished draft directly in Gmail
What you get

Newsletter drafts waiting in your inbox each week

You get a newsletter draft assembled from your latest articles sitting in Gmail, ready whenever you want to send it.

What you get

A ready-to-edit newsletter draft waiting in your Gmail drafts folder.

What you need

A Gmail 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.
