Turn newsletter subscriptions into a daily Slack intelligence brief

Every day the system reads your newsletters, filters out the noise, and posts a summary of what matters to Slack.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Any that apply are taken.

The problem it solves

You subscribe to industry newsletters to stay informed, but they pile up unread in your inbox because you never have time to read them all. Important trends and ideas slip by, and by the time you notice them, everyone else already has.

Who it fits

Executives, product managers, and content creators who follow multiple industry newsletters.

How it works

  1. Each day the system collects your labeled newsletter emails from Gmail
  2. It combines the content and sends it to an AI for analysis
  3. The AI filters out anything not relevant to your business and highlights key developments
  4. It writes a summary and a few discussion-worthy questions
  5. The brief is posted to Slack, with an option to save ideas to Notion
What you get

Industry news you don't have to sift through

You get a daily Slack summary of what matters most across your newsletter subscriptions.

What you get

A daily Slack message summarizing the relevant industry news, plus optional saved content ideas in Notion.

What you need

A Gmail account, a Slack workspace, and an AI model subscription.

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.
