The Agentic Brief

Every weekday a pipeline reads 82 feeds, the Hacker News stories that clear 80 points, 15 company engineering blogs, and 12 accounts on X. It picks the one story that changed something, writes it up with the caveat attached rather than buried, and lines six to nine items up behind it. Then it stops.

On Sunday it does the thing a daily structurally can't. One argued observation connecting the week's stories, the items whose significance only showed up in hindsight, and the two or three good things that nobody clicked.

The pipeline is the pitch. It ships at the same time every weekday because software doesn't oversleep, it says so out loud when the day was quiet instead of padding, and every issue carries a corrections section whether or not there is anything in it. What it reads, which model does which job, and what I check before a send are all written down on the how-it-works page.
