The compelling idea is treating attention as a systems problem: encode your own definition of “worth knowing” instead of asking an LLM to summarize an endless feed.
- –Keeps dates, engagement, and seen-state in code before spending model tokens.
- –Routes only surviving items to an LLM for deeper reading and synthesis.
- –Builds incrementally from one source, making real runs and deduplication measurable.
- –Supports changelogs, communities, feeds, videos, and papers without locking users to one model or provider.
- –Its effectiveness depends on the quality of the user’s decision questions and source selection.
