Personal news automation system that will change your life

Summary

The article describes a personal news automation system built for an exporter that monitors trade news sources, scores stories using AI, and delivers personalized WhatsApp updates, leveraging Cloudflare Workers and cost-effective AI models.

I built a news website for an exporter and he barely opened it. He runs an export business, so his day is buyer calls and chasing suppliers, and sitting at a laptop to read news was never going to happen. So I kept the backend and changed the delivery. It now watches 37 trade news sources every 2 minutes, scores each story 0 to 10 against his actual business, what he sells, which countries he sells into, how he loses deals, and sends him a maximum of 10 a day on WhatsApp. Anything under a 7 never interrupts him, anything at 9 or above ignores every limit, and nothing routine arrives between 11pm and 7am. Each message has one button, "What's in it for me". He taps it and gets back what that news does to his freight cost, his buyers, and the competitor it just made more expensive, rather than a summary of the article. It runs on Cloudflare Workers with the WhatsApp Business API, uses an open source model for the scoring and a cheap paid one for the writing, and costs under 20 rupees a month to run. Happy to answer anything about how it works. If you want one built around your own business I do it for a fixed one time payment, no subscription.
