AINews

A personal AI knowledge hub that replaces scattered YouTube searches, article browsing, and LLM queries with a single, organized weekly digest — framed around learning rather than just consuming news.

The Problem

Staying current on AI means juggling:

• Searching YouTube for relevant videos manually
• Browsing news sites and blogs with no structure
• Reading research papers discovered by chance
• Asking LLMs with web search for summaries

There is no single place that curates AI content with an educational focus, organized by topic, and presented in an interactive format.

What AINews Does

AINews aggregates content from multiple sources (YouTube, articles, arXiv papers, X/social posts from key AI figures) and presents each item as a structured learning card — not just a link, but a full breakdown:

• Summary — what it covers
• Key concepts — the ideas worth understanding
• Why it matters — the broader significance
• Embedded video (where applicable)
• Related content — suggested next steps

Content is organized by topic and refreshed weekly.

Phased Delivery

Phase 0 — Data Seed

A Claude Code scheduled trigger (cron job) uses web search to discover the past 7 days of AI content and generates a structured public/data/news.json file. No API key needed — runs under the Claude Pro plan.

Phase 1 — MVP (current)

Web app reads from the static data/news.json. Full interactive UI with all features above. Weekly refresh = Claude Code trigger generates new content, operator reviews and redeploys. Self-hosted deployment.

Phase 2 — Live Pipeline

Fully automated weekly refresh via Claude Code scheduled triggers. Migrate to Vercel.

Who It's For

Primarily a personal tool, with the option to share with a small group of friends. No heavy authentication — access control handled at the deployment level.
