Turn daily news into a curated study digest in Google Sheets

AI reads the day's news, keeps only what matters for your subject, and logs summaries into a spreadsheet.

How the work actually flows

A straight line. Runs once per relevant article.

The problem it solves

Your students or team need to stay on top of current events relevant to a specific exam or subject, but reading through a full newspaper every day and picking out what's relevant takes hours you don't have.

Who it fits

Coaching institutes, educators, or content teams who need a daily curated news digest for a specific subject area.

How it works

  1. Runs automatically each morning
  2. Fetches the latest articles from a news website
  3. AI filters out anything unrelated to your subject area
  4. AI summarizes each relevant article and explains why it matters
  5. Adds the results as new rows in a spreadsheet
What you get

A daily reading list built for your subject

You get a daily spreadsheet of news stories relevant to your subject, summarized and explained for quick reading.

What you get

A daily spreadsheet log of summarized, subject-relevant news articles.

What you need

A Google account and an API key for an AI language model.

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.
