The problem it solves

Turning a stack of articles into a readable newsletter means reading everything, writing summaries, and formatting it all by hand. That process eats up hours you'd rather spend on strategy or your actual clients.

Who it fits

A newsletter writer, marketer, or virtual assistant who curates web content regularly.

How it works

  1. You start it with a list of article URLs in Google Sheets
  2. The system crawls each page and extracts the content
  3. AI summarizes the articles and writes a subject line
  4. The content is formatted into an HTML newsletter
  5. The finished newsletter is sent to you by email
What you get

Polished newsletters ready without writing summaries

You get a fully formatted newsletter with summarized articles delivered straight to your inbox.

What you get

A ready-to-send HTML newsletter summarizing all the articles, delivered by email.

What you need

A Google Sheets account, a Dumpling AI account, an OpenAI API key, and Gmail.

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.
