Executive Summary

Tech professionals spend an estimated 30 minutes each morning synthesizing news across newsletters, social feeds and aggregators, a pain most acute for product managers, engineers and startup executives who need quick context to make decisions. With roughly 17 million tech professionals globally and an addressable market of about $3.4B (17M × $200 ARPU/year), the time cost and cognitive load are measurable and persistent. You could build an AI-driven morning briefing service that auto-summarizes top tech stories into a 2–3 minute digest tailored to a user's role and interests, with source-linked micro-summaries, one-sentence implications and configurable depth. Core features would include daily email/Slack briefs, role-based filters, evidence-linked summaries to reduce hallucination, and a freemium pricing strategy that targets $200 ARPU from power users and enterprise seats. The timing is favorable: LLM summarization fidelity has improved to make automated briefings practically useful, the explosion of niche newsletters has increased information overload and demand for curation, and the shift to async work favors compact, on-demand updates. Those trends lower adoption friction and create distribution hooks via newsletters, tooling integrations and community partnerships. Competition is medium—existing newsletters, aggregators and big-platform features exist. The key challenges are building trust through verifiable sourcing and explainability, nailing personalization, and acquiring users at scale; if your team can realistically solve source verification and enterprise distribution, the market economics look attractive, but execution risk is significant.
