Using GPT4 to extract interesting links from my daily newsletters

Why? I spend too much time opening and checking through all my newsletters subscriptions, would rather have all interesting links in one page.

TODO

  • improve prompt to extract as many links as possible and have better categorization
  • Experiment with different forms of output, maybe article form? Have it copy someone's writing style, publish it to substack, could be a newsletter automation with AI thing
  • Check if text extracted from emails can be cleaned up, any redundant info fed into prompt?
  • Run this on cloud/local and dump results in DB so I can read into my blog or in notion
