The problem it solves

You want to send a regular newsletter to keep your audience engaged, but writing quality content every single week is a constant drain on your time. Content calendars slip and newsletters go out late or not at all.

Who it fits

Content creators, educators, or organizations who want a recurring newsletter without writing it themselves each week.

How it works

  1. On a weekly schedule, the system fetches the latest data from NASA's APIs
  2. AI writes an engaging newsletter from the raw data
  3. The content is formatted into a document and converted to PDF
  4. The newsletter is emailed out and archived to your chosen platform
  5. Your team receives a notification once the newsletter is sent
What you get

A finished newsletter draft ready each week

A finished space newsletter built from live NASA data lands in your inbox and archive every week, ready to send.

What you get

A finished, formatted newsletter delivered by email and archived for your records each week.

What you need

A NASA API key, an OpenAI account, and a Google Workspace account for documents and email.

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.
