The problem it solves

Finding credible, shareable news stories for your niche means checking multiple sources every day, judging which ones are trustworthy, and figuring out how each story could work for email, social, or your website. Doing that daily research and vetting by hand is a lot of repetitive work. You want a vetted list with content angles already suggested.

Who it fits

Content teams and marketers who publish daily news roundups in a specific niche.

How it works

  1. Every day, the automation scans relevant news sources for new stories.
  2. OpenAI scores each story's credibility and predicts likely audience engagement.
  3. Content angles are suggested for email, social media, and your website.
  4. New, vetted stories land in a shared Google Sheet, with duplicates skipped automatically.
What you get

Stories worth featuring in your roundup

You get vetted, scored news stories ready to consider for your daily roundup.

What you get

A daily updated spreadsheet of credibility-scored news stories with suggested content angles for each channel.

What you need

A Google Workspace account and an OpenAI API key with web research access.

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.
