Morning Portal: a daily AI briefing that ends in a ready-to-post carousel
A tool I built with Claude that does the morning research I used to do by hand: it reads specific news sites and my own newsletter inbox, rates what matters, and turns the best stories into Instagram carousels with cover options ready to go.
From your inbox
It reads my own newsletters, not just the open web.
Morning Portal pulls stories straight from the newsletters I'm already subscribed to, summarises each one and adds an "Applicable insight": a concrete next step, not just a recap.
Curated news
Chosen sites only, rated, with a one-click path to a carousel.
Stories from a fixed set of sources (TechCrunch, Canaltech and others I chose) are star-rated for relevance. Any story can become a carousel with one click.
Output
Three carousels a day, each with its own hook angle.
Each carousel cover is generated using my design system and a pre-approved set of my own photos, with a hook type already assigned (Stakes/Consequence, Number/Listicle, Curiosity Gap). A briefing panel explains the angle, and the full carousel downloads as a ready HTML/ZIP file.
Part of a bigger picture: this is one piece of how I use AI to build and run my own personal brand.
