• Cole Medin presents his “AI content engine” as a solution to the overwhelming volume of AI news, enabling users to filter out “fluff” and receive a personalized, concise daily digest of relevant information.
• The system employs a multi-stage filtering process: initial deterministic code filters (e.g., deduplication, age, engagement), followed by “Jev” as a cost-effective first line of defense for obvious decisions, and finally an LLM (like Claude Haiku) for nuanced reasoning on remaining content.
• Users can build their own customized engine using Cole’s “build signal engine” skill, which guides a coding agent through a six-phase autonomous build process after an initial “grilling” interview to define sources (e.g., RSS, YouTube, Reddit via Apify) and filtering criteria.
• The system is designed for efficiency and cost-effectiveness, costing less than $0.50/day for hundreds of posts, and allows for iterative adjustments via a generated “profile” after the initial build.
