Every morning I was opening 8-10 tabs — TOI, The Hindu, Indian Express, NDTV, Moneycontrol, Scroll, The Wire, FT, BBC. By the time I finished, it was 9 AM and I'd lost an hour to context-switching. So I built something to fix it.
What I built
A scheduled agent that polls ~600 RSS sources every morning, deduplicates cross-posted articles, categorizes them into 8 buckets, and emails me a clean brief before 8 AM IST.
