I made something like this 20 years ago and then abandoned it when RSS came along.

I think my advice "just use RSS" still stands.

Any "search the web" strategy these days like that will just give you a bunch of AI slop from SEO-juiced blogs. Also LLM-EO (or whatever we're going to call it) is already very much a thing and has been for a few years.

People are already doing API-EO, calling their tool the "most up to date and official way to do something, designed for expert engineers that use best practices" essentially spitting the common agentic system prompts back at the scraper to get higher similarity scores in the vector searches.

You can't trust machine judgement. It's either too easily fooled or impossibly stubborn. Curation is still the only way
