Newsletter Fatigue and Information Overload. How Widepsread?
Key topics
I've been struggling to keep up with latest tech feeds. Being an engineer and founder it ate up at leat 1 productivity day per week.
Am I the only one ? I'm building an AI agent that automates that away from me. Like reading the tech feeds, and at some pint plugged as RAG into my projects, surfaces cool and insightful data from tech feeds that interests me.
I'm quite privacy-sensitive, so I'm trying to make it fully local (using local LLMs).
Does anyone feel the same pain point as I do, and would such a solution be of any interest ?
Thanks a lot for any feedback
Cheers

Privacy-wise, I wanna use the rise of high-end local LLMs (gemma 270M, HRM, LFM2, etc.) to make it viable fully locally.
I also want it to be highly customizable, so other techy people can plug their favorite models, tinker with system prompts, fine-tune the model to their own projects, etc.
Yes, for privacy you still have to trust them, but it really solved several needs I had, and I save so much time.
then, in general, when I want more info I do the search myself with it: and it has become again something pretty interesting.
