The problem it solves

You want to stay on top of industry news, but scanning multiple RSS feeds and reading full articles every day isn't realistic. Important stories get missed or shared late because nobody has time to keep up.

Who it fits

Teams and content creators who want to track industry news without reading every source themselves.

How it works

  1. Every day, the system checks your chosen RSS feeds for new articles
  2. AI visits the source link and reads the full article, not just the snippet
  3. A summary of each new article is posted to Slack
  4. From Slack, anyone can share an interesting summary directly to X
What you get

Industry news digested for your team every day

Your team gets a daily Slack digest of the real articles behind your RSS feeds, summarized and ready to skim.

What you get

A daily Slack digest of summarized articles from your chosen news sources.

What you need

A Google AI account for Gemini 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.
