Show HN: My Agentic Newsletter Project

Friends keep asking how I stay so unreasonably up to date on AI. Truth is: I doomscroll, but productively. I bounce between a bunch of sites, skim like a gremlin, and try to connect the dots.

Then I had a thought: what if I had little AI reporters do that for me?

So I built them. Four agents, each with a beat:

1) Hacker News Agent — Sniffs out top stories, Ask HN, and Show HN before they go nuclear. 2) GitHub Agent — Tracks trending repos across every language. Finds the tools you’ll pretend you discovered first. 3) Reddit Agent — Lurks in r/Ollama, r/accelerate, r/singularity, and much more subreddits. Catches the real talk from the trenches. 4) ArXiv Agent — Reads dense research so you don’t have to. Turns “theorem 3.2” into “here’s why this matters.”

Then the Editor Agent steps in. It merges the reports, kills duplicates, spots patterns across platforms, and spins it into a narrative that actually makes sense.

Result: zero fluff, maximum signal. Every morning: hand-picked stories, with quick, smart analysis on why they matter and how they connect.

Two weeks and many coffees later: BAAM — Ilia’s Corner is alive. A daily newsletter powered entirely by agents.
