How the work actually flows

A straight line.

The problem it solves

You read constantly but most of what you learn gets buried and forgotten. When it's time to write a post or article, you stare at a blank page instead of pulling from the ideas already sitting in your notes.

Who it fits

A consultant, coach, or content creator who reads regularly and wants to turn that reading into original posts.

How it works

  1. Runs automatically each week, or whenever you start it by hand
  2. Pulls the articles and highlights you saved recently in Readwise
  3. Filters down to the articles you actually engaged with
  4. AI reviews the highlights and drafts a set of post and article ideas
  5. You receive a ready-to-use list of content ideas for the week
What you get

Content ideas pulled from your own reading

You get a fresh list of post ideas drawn straight from the articles you highlighted this week.

What you get

A weekly list of content ideas and standout quotes pulled from your own reading.

What you need

A Readwise account and an OpenRouter API key for the AI model.

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.
