News & fun

Tell your agent what you follow: "AI chip industry", "Arsenal", "local Austin news". Say "brief me" and it sends its Researcher out across all of them at once, then hands you a short digest: each topic a heading, one to three bullets underneath, nothing you didn't ask for. Pause a topic when you need a break and pick it back up any time.

Each morning the agent takes your active topics, sends its Researcher across all of them in one pass, and delivers a digest sized for a phone screen: a heading per topic, a few bullets each. Topics with nothing new are simply skipped.

Tell your agent your teams once, whether Arsenal, the Lakers, or your kid's college team, and it keeps the list. Any time you ask how they did, it sends the Researcher out once for all of them and reports back: last night's results, who plays next, and the occasional storyline actually worth knowing. Works for one team or ten, in any league.

Your agent reads your saved teams, makes one trip to the live web for all of them, and sends yesterday's results and today's games in a few tight lines. On a quiet day it stays quiet.

Say "trivia" whenever you want a quick brain break. Your agent picks a question from a category you haven't seen in a while (or the one you ask for), waits for your real answer, then gives the full answer either way with one fun fact on top. Every play is saved, so your score and streak are real numbers, and no question ever comes around twice.

Say "word of the day" and your agent teaches you one word worth knowing: a plain meaning, a sentence you'd actually say, and a little hook to make it stick. Every word goes on your Words list, so you never get the same one twice. Now and then it slips in a quick "still remember what 'laconic' means?" and marks the ones you've truly got. Want a theme, such as business words or sharper small-talk? Just say so.

Tell your agent "add Dune to my list" or "someone recced the Bear" and it files it; mark things finished and rate them; then ask "what should I read next?" and it suggests from what you've actually saved, factoring in your ratings and mood. It's one durable list across books, shows, articles, and podcasts, saved rather than scattered across screenshots and open tabs. And for the nights when nobody can decide: say "pick something for tonight" and you get two or three confident picks, from your own list first, or fresh ones when the list has nothing that fits the mood.

The agent checks the questions you've already answered, picks one you haven't, and sends just the question, with no answer until you take your shot. Reply with the question and your guess together, like “my trivia answer: tallest mountain, Everest”, because the morning message is not in your agent's chat history. It grades the play and keeps your streak honest.

Each morning brings one new word, taught in a few lines, and every other day or so a one-line check on a past word you haven't mastered yet.

Highlighting is the easy part. You read something good, you mark the paragraph, and then it goes into a library you will open once more, maybe, in two years.

The value was never in the marking. It is in the paragraph coming back at the moment you need it, and that only happens if something is watching for the moment.

Connect Readwise and your agent reads your real library. Ask what you have saved about a subject and it searches every book, article and podcast you have highlighted and answers with your own words, and where they came from. Ask what is in a particular book and it reads that book's highlights back. Ask for something you have forgotten and it pulls from the daily review.

It works best on the library you already have. Nothing to set up, nothing to tag.

Archie sends things on their own schedule: a morning briefing, a market open, an evening wind-down, a weekly review. The Morning Show gives them a format. Every broadcast has a cold open, the same named segments in the same order (first up, on your desk, the money desk, one thing worth knowing), a one-clause handoff between them, and a one-line sign-off. The repetition is the value: after three days you know where your part lives and you can skim straight to it. An empty segment gets four words rather than padding, so the bit never makes a briefing longer than the plain facts would be. Mornings run up-tempo, evenings are slower and shorter. Reply to it and the show is over: it talks like a normal person until the next scheduled digest, then picks the format back up. Bad news is always read straight.
