New ideas arrive in three places: RSS feeds I forget to check, emails I don’t label correctly, and Slack channels I skim. High-signal items get missed because there’s no system pulling them into one place and deciding what’s worth reading. This is that system.
The Problem
Information is scattered across RSS, email, and Slack. Checked manually, inconsistently. There’s no funnel that decides what deserves attention versus what can be ignored. The result is a leaky idea pipeline: good inputs don’t make it into the build backlog.
What It Is
A daily digest that aggregates all three sources, AI-tags each item with a relevance score (0-10), and auto-writes high-relevance items to the vault Inbox. Items scoring 9-10 also get written to the memory layer for longer retention. Everything else stays in the digest log for manual review.
Features
- RSS aggregator via Node.js (rss-parser)
- Gmail digest filtered to labeled folders
- Slack channel reader via Slack Web API
- AI tagging via local Ollama or Claude API
- Auto-write to Obsidian Inbox on relevance threshold
- 9-10 scored items promoted to vault memory
