The solution to Information Overload is not AI doing digestion for you.

Absorbing higher quality, curated sources will be better for anyone than suckling off the fire hose and wondering why you feel like you've had too much. Take the breathing scratching exercise break and get back to the value add work.

All the classical solutions apply (improve your reading level, take more selective interests and know what to do when enough is enough.)

LLM is a toy. You should use it to spot check your development, your "down stream" usage sounds like you're on to something, are you? I still like to run things by my "go to" from time to time, however I cannot say it has been more than novel.

And I think this crowd sees these AI business models as a few workflow scripts and a well crafted prompt. Few may want to play with someone else's (marketed) attempt unless it really shines value.

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. I agree with much of what you've said. While creating something truly exceptional is both exciting and difficult, we're just trying to offer something useful within our capabilities. I also see your point about AI—many of today’s online services do seem like workflow scripts with well-crafted prompts. We’ll keep that in mind as we move forward.
