INGEST
Cron wakes up and pulls every live source: Indian startup outlets plus Google News topic queries. One broken feed never breaks the run.
An editorial intelligence engine for The Dispatch. It reads the Indian startup web all week, drafts the issue with Gemini Flash, and then waits. Nothing reaches a single inbox until a human says so.
Cron wakes up and pulls every live source: Indian startup outlets plus Google News topic queries. One broken feed never breaks the run.
Each link is hashed and stored once, ever. Near-identical headlines from two outlets collapse into one. Anything in the last four issues is set aside.
Gemini Flash reads the week's pool and proposes 8–10 high-signal stories across at least three topics, with commentary in Shreya's voice.
The rules are checked in code, not trusted to the model: count, topic spread, no repeats, real IDs. If anything fails, Gemini tries again.
Every story lands in Telegram with Approve, Swap and Remove. Reply to a story to rewrite its commentary. The judgment stays hers.
Still unconfirmed? A single nudge. Never a send. Silence means the issue simply does not go out.
Only a CONFIRMED issue is emailed, in batches, with one-click unsubscribe. Bounces are read back from Gmail and never mailed again.
NOTHING SENDS UNTIL SHE SAYS SO. THE AI PROPOSES. THE EDITOR DISPOSES.
No draft yet. Gemini builds it Wednesday 3 PM IST, or trigger Select in Admin.
Eight to ten stories, every Thursday. Picked by a machine, approved by a human.
