AI That Works with Me: Full Series of 10 Tools is HERE


(1) What’s the job to be done?

I need to extract meaningful insights from a daily flood of newsletter content. Every morning, 5-10 different newsletters land in my inbox, varying by day of the week. Before AI, my reading pattern was inconsistent - some mornings none, occasionally a few, and rarely all of them. The constant feeling of information overload was real. Now, using AI, I get the key takeaways from each newsletter automatically. I can still dive into full editions that catch my interest, but I no longer worry about missing important insights.

(2) What’s my tool of choice?

relay.app - an AI agent automation tool - working with ChatGPT-4o Mini [where relay.app makes it simple to connect to any and all LLMs].

(3) Why do I love relay.app and ChatGPT-4o Mini?

relay.app excels at connecting various content sources to AI. While I use it primarily for email newsletters, it works equally well with web scrapers and other data sources. ChatGPT-4o Mini offers an excellent balance of relevance and cost compared to premium models.

The real power lies in personalization - you can fine-tune your prompts to receive exactly the type of insights you value most.

(4) What are examples of Newsletter So Whats?

At 6:30 am PT daily, I receive summarized insights from my newsletters. The volume varies naturally with the news cycle - fewer on weekends (1-3 summaries) and more during mid-week (5-7 summaries).

Here’s an example of 2 email summaries:

(5) What else could be helpful to share?

Pasted below are the instructions that I shared a few weeks ago as part of an interview that I did with Sarah Tavel from Benchmark Capital as part of her AI Savants series, the full edition also pasted below:

Note that you can easily customize the output; for example, instead of receiving an email, you could quickly receive the same information via Slack or Teams, directly in the flow of work.
