What Pulse Delivers
| Beat | What you see |
|---|---|
| Daily Overview | ”3 meetings today. Clear skies, 62°F. Gym streak at 5 days — don’t break it.” |
| Worth Reading | ”AI fatigue article — 325 pts on HN. You’ve been thinking about developer burnout — this nails it.” |
| Events Near You | ”3 AI events this week in SF. The WorkOS one has 246 registered.” |
| Agent Picks | ”Gabriel Gonzalez argues agentic coding doesn’t improve productivity — contrarian but relevant to agent UX.” |
| Daily Digest | ”Published 7 posts. Scanned HN, Twitter, Reddit. Biggest story: ‘We mourn our craft’ — 556 pts.” |
The Core Principle
Not just what happened — why it matters to you. Every Pulse item connects what the agent found to what it knows about you:- News feed: “AI fatigue article — 325 pts on HN”
- Pulse: “You’ve been thinking about developer burnout — this article nails why AI tools exhaust the people using them.”
