The AI news worth a business owner's minute.

A live system, not a feed. Once an hour it reads the AI coverage of TechCrunch and The Conversation, throws out the funding rounds, event plugs and politics, and keeps what could change how a business runs. Explainers from The Conversation you can read here in full. Every step is on show — nothing here is picked or written by hand.

These execs think voice AI hasn’t reached its ChatGPT moment yet
Voice AI often misses important points for its context layer, and causes the whole pipeline to break.

Every story opens here. The Conversation's explainers are republished in full under their republishing guidelines (CC BY-ND); TechCrunch's RSS terms allow the headline and summary only, so their stories are briefs with the full piece one click away. Signal carries no ads. I don't write, edit or endorse these stories — the filter only decides what's worth your minute, and leaves politics, courts and sensitive stories out on purpose.

How the filter decides

Plain keyword rules, no AI model: the same story gets the same verdict every time, and the reason is always printable. Checked in this order —

Published in the last 14 days (30 for explainers, which age slower).
Politics, courts, regulation, sensitive stories: out, before anything else. An article republished here in full is checked word by word as well, not just its headline.
Event plugs and funding, deals, markets: out — unless the headline is a launch for businesses.
It has to be about AI.
It has to touch how a business runs — scored by words in the headline (2 points) and summary (1), and by the publisher's own categories (2):

Customer service: customer service, customer support, support agents, call center, call centre, contact center, receptionist, receptionists, voice agent, Customer Service…
Sales: sales, crm, leads, lead generation, outreach, e-commerce, ecommerce, commerce, shopping, Commerce, E-commerce…
Marketing: marketing, marketer, marketers, ads, advertising, advertisers, seo, search, creative, Marketing, Advertising Tech…
Operations: automation, automate, automates, workflow, workflows, operations, back office, invoices, accounting, Enterprise, Productivity, SaaS…
Tools: launch, launches, launched, release, releases, released, rolls out, introduces, unveils, Apps…

Two points or more puts a story in its best area; Tools also needs a business or a business tool in the story. Nothing else decides — and nobody picks by hand.
