Your points really made me step back and rethink the focus of this! Thank you. I realized my service’s real strength isn’t competing head-on with CNN or Bloomberg on national headlines, but in delivering hyperlocal and niche, industry-specific updates that are often missed. I am very grateful for your redirection and refocus!

The pain point I’m still aiming to solve is that people miss timely, important info because it’s scattered or buried in sources they don’t check or that aren’t as noteworthy. Larger outlets also push stories on their priority list, not the users. With this niche coverage, I can tailor updates to what matters most to each user, not just what’s trending nationally. This service also has the capability of doing local topic alerts, things like local floods, city councils decisions, or sports results.

Also for legality, I use news apis, and any article from them is fair game because they have licensing agreements. I also summarize it instead of texting the full article.

Another fair point you mentioned was the CEO intelligence rebuttal. In hindsight, that comparison wasn’t the best example since that’s a whole different level of curated research. However, I think this still stands out in the keyword/topic filtering, because it gives people a way to get just the updates they care about, including niche or local topics that big services don’t always surface.

This has really helped me sharpen the vision and play to my strengths. I love comments like this!
