    Hi HN, I built Morning Report because every morning I was losing the first 30 minutes just checking Sentry, Linear, Gmail, and PostHog separately before doing any real work. It connects to the tools you already use and compiles a single daily briefing, organized into five sections: what broke overnight, what you committed to, what's performing, what needs you, and what happened in the world. Delivered by email and archived on a dashboard. The part I spent the most time on: instead of a generic AI summary, you set your own "editorial voice" in plain English for how you want your data filtered…

    Hey HN! Nudge captures your screen every minute and uses GPT-4o to detect when you're distracted. Describe what you want to work on ("Review PRs on GitHub for 20min") and Nudge will alert when it sees you doing something else. I built Nudge because I get easily distracted at work. I've been using it for a few weeks and I'd say my procrastination is down 20-30%. (That's partly because Nudge forces me to break my day into small, concrete activities.) The AI detection can work perfectly but it depends on how clearly you describe your goal. For example, "I want to reply to my boss" is bad, but…

    Hi everyone, I got tired of the daily "Where is everyone working from?" / "Who's coming in today" messages in various slack channels. So I built *FindMyTeam*: it's a Slack app that pings your team once a day with three buttons – Home, Office, Traveling – and then shows a quick who's‑where summary (plus a monthly heat‑map in the App Home to see patterns). How it works: * Once a day the app posts a reminder to check-in * Either hit one of the three buttons, or use natural language (AI, yo! ;) * The app maintains a summary each day in the channel * Reminder times can be customized per…

    Hey HN, I'm Ethan. I was spending 2 hours every morning across HN, Twitter, and newsletters trying to keep up with AI for my startup. So over the past few months, my co-founder Thor and I built FiveW to distill the latest AI developments relevant to us, in a 5 minute briefing. FiveW does three things: 1. Personalized morning briefing -- talk with an agent on onboarding, and get a daily briefing tailored to your interests that you can deep dive on. 2. Curated AI news feed -- surfaces the most important AI stories of the day from 100+ sources, in one place 3. Live market signals -- BTC, gold,…

    Hey HN, I pitched an investor for 30 minutes before realizing they'd already passed on a similar company in their portfolio. That moment broke me. I'd wasted both our time because I didn't do basic research. So I built Briefing AI: Paste any calendar invite and Get an Intelligence-style dossier on attendees in 30 seconds. THE WORKFLOW: You have a meeting in 10 minutes. You know nothing about the attendees. Before: • Open LinkedIn, search "Sarah Chen Sequoia" • Skim profile, open 5 tabs • Google her recent activity • Try to remember talking points • Show up flustered • Total time: 15-20…
