Daily briefing bot
An automated digest that watches the sources you care about and emails you the few items worth your time. Seven posts on the same system — one diagram at a time — with an engineering reference at the end.

01
A daily briefing bot on AWS for a few dollars a month
The whole system on one page — an ingestor, a ranker, a postman, all sharing one config.
-
02
How the ingestor walks your sources
A small dispatcher reads your source list, hands each source to a specialist worker, and drops everything new into one mailbox.
-
03
How the bot picks what matters
Three filters in order, cheapest first. Most items die at the free filter; the smart AI only sees the few borderline cases.
-
04
How the digest gets delivered
Five short blocks in your inbox at 7am — or nothing on quiet days. The bot never trains you to ignore it.
-
05
How you change what the bot watches
Two short Drive docs are the entire interface. Edit, save, the bot picks up the change tomorrow.

06
What the briefing bot costs
A coffee a month, possibly less. Where the dollars actually go in a serverless briefing bot on AWS.

Engineering reference: the briefing bot architecture
Same system, drawn purely for engineers. Service names, resource identifiers, region, Bedrock model IDs.
