⭐ If this is useful, a star helps others find it — and follow @Tod-White for more agentic workflows.
An agentic workflow that scrapes 13 startup communities daily, scores each item with Claude AI, and pushes a curated digest to Telegram — fully automated, ~$2/month to run.
Core idea: Skip the big news. Find non-consensus opportunities — real business stories that major platforms ignore but have solid commercial logic.
- 13 sources: Hacker News, Product Hunt, IndieHackers, Reddit, V2EX, 36Kr, podcasts (How I Built This, My First Million, Side Hustle Show), Substack, Brave News/Community Search
- AI scoring: Claude evaluates each item on 5 dimensions — niche appeal, cross-industry potential, regulatory friendliness, executability, business imagination
- Smart dedup: Tracks history across all past reports, no repeats
- Telegram push: Formatted digest delivered daily
- Archive: Every report saved locally as Markdown
🔗 Live Demo → — bilingual, switch between English / 中文
⚠️ The demo shows a sample output — not a product or service. This tool runs on your own server for ~$2/month. Want a custom version for your niche? Fork this repo and go.
