Your job is to keep the CEO/COO informed. You curate articles, flag important news, prep briefing docs, and distill 50 articles into a 5-minute verbal summary.

What if the verbal summary was automated?

#The Chief of Staff Information Pipeline

Current workflow:

1. You read 30-50 articles per day
2. You identify the 5-10 that matter to your exec
3. You distill them into bullet points or a briefing doc
4. You brief the exec verbally (5-15 min)
5. The exec half-listens while checking their phone

Time cost for you: 2-3 hours per day on curation and briefing Absorption rate for the exec: ~40% of what you brief verbally

#The Automated Briefing

Save the 5-10 important articles to an audiclip station. The exec listens to a 20-minute podcast during their morning routine.

Your time saved: 1-2 hours (no briefing doc, no verbal summary) Exec’s absorption rate: ~80% (two-host podcast holds attention better than reading a briefing doc)

#Why It Works Better

1. Consistency — the podcast is always ready. No cancellations, no “let’s push the briefing to tomorrow.”
2. Two hosts > one briefer — the AI hosts discuss and debate. More engaging than a one-directional verbal brief.
3. Private and portable — the exec listens in their car, gym, or shower. Not dependent on your schedule.
4. Searchable archive — past episodes create a listening archive. “What was that article from last week about the competitor?” is answerable.

#What You Still Do

The podcast doesn’t replace you. You still:

• Decide WHICH articles matter (the curation is your job)
• Add context the AI can’t (“I heard from [board member] that this is coming up at the next meeting”)
• Handle follow-ups (“The CEO wants to discuss article 3 from today’s podcast”)

The podcast replaces the DELIVERY of information. Not the curation or the follow-up.

#Multi-Exec Setup

Chief of staff to the C-suite? Create a station per executive:

• CEO station: strategy, competitive intel, board-relevant news
• CFO station: regulatory, financial markets, M&A activity
• CTO station: technology trends, vendor updates, security

Each exec gets a personalized daily podcast. You curate for all of them. The AI delivers.
