The engine sweeps roughly 16 feeds across five different corners of the internet, grabs up to 30 items each, and stores anything it has not seen before. Last run: 268 fresh items.
Every headline and excerpt gets converted into a vector, a list of numbers that captures its meaning. This is what lets the machine tell that "AI loan officer" and "automated underwriting bot" are the same story.
The same story breaks across five outlets. The engine groups near-identical items into one cluster (similarity above 0.86, looking back 30 days). How many sources landed in a cluster becomes a corroboration score: five outlets covering it beats one.
An AI grades every cluster against a rubric written for flippers, landlords, syndicators, and wholesalers. Not for AI researchers. The instruction says, word for word, "be harsh." Model benchmarks and AI politics score near zero and get dropped.
Anything under the relevance gate is killed automatically. 36 clusters scored, 10 cleared the gate this run.
This step is why it reads like an investor wrote it. Before writing a word, the engine asks a private knowledge base a question: "how would a real estate investor actually use this?"
That knowledge base is the entire Real Estate Investing School corpus, courses, deal breakdowns, and coaching, chopped into searchable chunks and stored as vectors in Supabase. It pulls the closest matches and feeds them into the writer so the "what this means for your portfolio" angle speaks in real strategy language: BRRRR, subject-to, DSCR, speed-to-lead, creative financing.
The writer never sees the original article's prose. It is a two-step wall:
A model strips the source down to a fact sheet: what it is, the numbers, the limits, is it free or paid. No sentences survive.
A second model writes each section from the fact sheet + the REIS excerpts + the voice rules. It can't copy sentences it never saw.
Then an 8-word overlap check compares the draft against the source. Any echo gets flagged for rewrite before I ever see it.
The machine hands me a draft, never a sent email. I verify the One Number against the source, cut any tool an investor can't use yet, trim The Wire to what's worth your time, and run the voice check. Then it ships through beehiiv. Nothing sends without my OK.
