The problem it solves

Staying on top of media coverage about your company or industry means scanning dozens of articles every day, and it's easy to miss a story that's suddenly getting a lot more attention than usual. You don't have time to be your own news analyst every morning.

Who it fits

An executive, communications lead, or business owner who needs to track media coverage without doing the reading themselves.

How it works

  1. The automation pulls the day's relevant news articles
  2. AI summarizes the key coverage and checks the overall tone
  3. Today's volume of coverage is compared against past days
  4. If coverage spikes unexpectedly, the AI digs deeper and flags the reason
  5. A formatted briefing email lands in your inbox
What you get

Mornings you start already knowing the coverage

You get a written briefing each morning that tells you what's being said about your topics and whether anything unusual is happening.

What you get

A structured daily briefing email summarizing news coverage, sentiment, and any unusual spikes.

What you need

A news data API, a Gmail account, an OpenAI API key, and a Google Sheets account.

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.
