The problem it solves

Keeping a directory or newsletter stocked with fresh tools and translated descriptions means manually checking launch sites and writing summaries every day. That research adds up to hours you'd rather spend elsewhere.

Who it fits

Teams building tool directories, newsletters, or competitive research who want a steady, translated feed of new product launches.

How it works

  1. Every day, the system checks for newly launched products
  2. Each entry is checked against your spreadsheet to avoid duplicates
  3. AI translates the description and classifies the category and use case
  4. New categories are matched or created in your tracking list
  5. The finished entry is logged in your spreadsheet
What you get

New launches tracked and translated daily

New product launches get collected daily, translated, and categorized automatically, building a running spreadsheet you can mine for research or content.

What you get

A continuously updated, translated, and categorized spreadsheet of new product launches.

What you need

A Google Sheets account and an OpenAI 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.
