The problem it solves

Keeping tabs on what's trending in tech and startups means checking Hacker News yourself throughout the day. If you want that feed folded into a team briefing or dashboard, you need the data pulled automatically instead of copying links by hand.

Who it fits

Teams or founders who want a running feed of tech and startup news without checking the site manually.

How it works

  1. The system connects to Hacker News
  2. It retrieves the latest articles and their details
  3. The list is formatted for reuse
  4. You receive the list ready to use in a briefing, dashboard, or summary
What you get

Articles ready to slot into your feed

What you get

A list of current Hacker News articles ready to feed into a briefing or dashboard.

What you need

No account is required beyond your automation platform.

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.
