I Built an AI-Powered News Digest That Runs Itself for $5/Month — Here's How

I wanted one place to see the day's most important stories, organized by category, without the noise of a 24/7 news cycle. Nothing I found did exactly that - so I built it in a day. It's called Le Bref (French for "The Brief"). It scrapes 25+ RSS feeds twice a day, uses Claude AI to pick the top stories, summarizes them into 3 tiers of depth, and s everything in a permanent searchable archive. Total monthly cost to run: about $5-10. Here's the full breakdown.
