The problem it solves

You subscribe to industry newsletters to stay current, but reading and organizing them every day eats into your morning. Important stories get buried in your inbox and never make it into a shareable format. You want the highlights without doing the reading yourself.

Who it fits

Teams or founders who want to track daily AI or industry news without manually reading newsletters.

How it works

  1. A new newsletter email arrives in Gmail
  2. The email content is cleaned up and split into individual articles
  3. AI reads each article, writes a short summary, and assigns a category
  4. The results are added as new rows in a Google Sheet
What you get

Newsletter highlights organized without reading every issue

Your daily newsletter gets summarized and sorted into categories in a spreadsheet, ready for a quick scan.

What you get

An organized, searchable spreadsheet of daily news summaries by category.

What you need

A Gmail inbox, a Google Sheets account, and API keys for the AI models used.

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.
