  Using AI to generate a daily SMS digest of the day's most relevant headlines

  I built a personal daily SMS system that uses AI to summarize and transpose the day's most relevant news into a concise morning text message.

  The system runs overnight and prioritizes clarity over volume, delivering just enough context to stay informed without the noise of feeds, alerts, or endless scrolling.

  How I built this

  Leveraging Gemini to power 60,000+ automated course descriptions on Course Vaults

  Course Vaults contains tens of thousands of courses, all previously without written descriptions. Manually authoring this content would have been slow, inconsistent, and unrealistic at scale.

  I built an AI workflow using Gemini and POST-based API requests that generates course descriptions on demand and saves them to the database, improving coverage incrementally as users explore the product.

  This allowed Course Vaults to feel more complete and informative without increasing the cognitive or operational burden on users.
