How the work actually flows

The problem it solves

You subscribe to news, blogs, or industry feeds but rarely find time to check them yourself. Important updates get buried in an inbox or browser tab you never open, and your team misses timely industry news.

Who it fits

A team or business that wants to stay on top of an industry blog or news feed without checking it manually.

How it works

  1. Every day, the system checks your RSS feed for new posts
  2. It looks for anything published the day before
  3. Each matching article is formatted into a message
  4. The messages are posted into your chosen Slack channel
What you get

Yesterday's articles waiting for you in Slack

Every morning, yesterday's posts from your industry blog show up in Slack so your team stays current without checking the feed.

What you get

A daily digest of yesterday's articles posted directly in Slack.

What you need

A Slack account and access to the RSS feed URL you want to follow.

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.
