News ingestion suffers from two main issues: first, information overload, where critical content gets buried; second, noisy notifications, leading users to treat them as background noise.
WorkBuddy transforms multiple information sources into a filterable, explainable, and trackable notification system. For example: GitHub hot projects daily alerts, AIHOT industry daily news, papers and tech trend tracking, official account and blog monitoring, trending news, and fact-checking integrations.
Help users miss fewer things worth reading every day.
The Common Ingestion Workflow
Whether tracking GitHub repositories, AI news, research papers, policies, or trending topics, stable news ingestion splits into the same pipeline: gather, deduplicate, filter, summarize, and deliver.
