The problem it solves

Keeping up with fast-moving news on the topics that matter to your business means reading dozens of articles a week, and most of it is low-value noise. Writing a clean, well-sourced summary from scratch takes hours you'd rather spend elsewhere.

Who it fits

A founder, analyst, or content marketer who needs to stay current on a specific industry topic.

How it works

  1. On a set schedule, the system searches for recent news on your chosen topics
  2. A team of AI agents divides up the research, digs into each subtopic, and gathers sources
  3. AI compiles the findings into a report with citations for every claim
  4. An editor step polishes the report into a finished newsletter
  5. The newsletter is emailed to you automatically
What you get

Weekly research delivered with sources cited

You get a fully researched, cited newsletter on your chosen topics delivered to your inbox every week.

What you get

A cited, ready-to-read newsletter on your chosen topics, delivered to your inbox on schedule.

What you need

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