Get a daily AI-filtered news digest in Slack with trend reports

AI filters out clickbait, posts a daily top-story summary to Slack, and builds a weekly trend report from the data.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Exactly one path is taken; runs once per one per article.

The problem it solves

Staying current on your industry means wading through a flood of articles, most of which aren't worth your time. By the time you've filtered out the noise, you've lost the hour you meant to spend on it.

Who it fits

Market researchers, tech teams, or content creators who need a high-signal read on a specific topic.

How it works

  1. Every day, the system pulls fresh articles on your chosen topic
  2. AI filters out low-quality or clickbait stories
  3. The top stories are summarized and posted to Slack
  4. Each article is logged to a spreadsheet for the archive
  5. Every Monday, the past week's articles are turned into a trend report
What you get

Signal without the noise

You get a daily Slack digest of the top stories on your topic, plus a weekly trend report built from the data.

What you get

A daily Slack summary of top stories, an archived spreadsheet, and a weekly trend report.

What you need

A news API key, an OpenRouter or OpenAI API key, a Google account for Sheets, and a Slack workspace.

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.
