Monitor the news for your keywords and get instant alerts

AI scans the news for topics you care about and sends you a photo and headline the moment a match appears.

How the work actually flows

The problem it solves

Keeping up with breaking news on specific topics means constantly checking multiple sites, and you still miss things or see them late. Sifting through irrelevant headlines to find the few that matter wastes time you don't have.

Who it fits

Content marketers, journalists, or researchers who need to catch specific news topics without manually scanning feeds all day.

How it works

  1. On a schedule, the system runs a news scraping job to collect the latest headlines
  2. It waits until the full set of headlines is ready
  3. AI reviews the headlines against your list of keywords and filters for real matches
  4. Matching stories are formatted with a headline, photo, and link
  5. You receive each matching story as a message the moment it's found
What you get

Stories you catch the moment they break

Catch the exact news stories that matter to you the moment they appear anywhere online.

What you get

A steady stream of relevant news alerts, each with a headline, photo, and link.

What you need

A web scraping subscription, a Google Gemini API key, and a messaging account for alerts.

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.
