Newsletters

Newsletter Project

The newsletters curated and published here are part of a larger project hosted over at Samwise Agency — a personal publishing platform for automated, AI-assisted newsletters covering the topics JD follows most closely.

The idea is simple: instead of spending an hour every morning scanning RSS feeds, newsletters, and news sites, the system does it automatically — pulling in the best content, organizing it, and publishing a daily digest. It runs on a combination of custom automation, AI curation, and WordPress.

What’s Being Published

Samwise Agency currently publishes daily newsletters across several beats:

  • Tech & AI — the daily digest of the most important developments in artificial intelligence, robotics, and technology
  • Formula 1 — race news, team updates, and everything happening in the paddock
  • MLB Baseball — scores, standings, trades, and the storylines worth following
  • Greater Toronto Area — local news, events, and what’s happening around the GTA

The Technology Behind It

Each newsletter is generated using a pipeline that combines web scraping, RSS aggregation, and large language model summarization. The content is reviewed, formatted, and published automatically on a daily schedule. It’s an ongoing experiment in what “automated publishing” can actually look like when you do it yourself rather than relying on a third-party tool.
