The problem it solves

You want to stay on top of new posts from a list of blogs, but checking each site individually or wading through old content wastes time. Important updates get missed because you are not checking often enough. You want a single, current list of what is actually new.

Who it fits

Marketers, researchers, or content teams who curate or monitor a set list of industry blogs.

How it works

  1. The automation reads a list of blog feeds you provide
  2. Each feed is checked for new articles
  3. Publish dates are compared against your chosen time window
  4. New articles are separated out and ready to send wherever you choose
What you get

New posts you never miss

You receive a curated list of fresh articles from the blogs you follow, ready whenever you want to read them.

What you get

A clean, current list of newly published articles from your tracked blogs.

What you need

No paid accounts required beyond wherever you choose to send the results.

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.
