What is this, exactly?

The Daily Presidential Brief is a personal project: a small, automated news agency that reads the news so I don't have to, and boils it down every morning into a single clear, factual digest — the kind of daily intelligence note a head of state might get.

How it works

1. Gather. Each night the app pulls articles from about 25 sources — international press, France (no extremes), tech & AI, finance, crypto, and a few good-news outlets.
2. Summarize. An AI summarizes each article neutrally: facts first, opinions attributed to whoever makes them, loaded language stripped out.
3. Cluster. Articles about the same event are grouped automatically by meaning, so each story draws on several sources at once.
4. Rank. Every story gets an impact score; the most important rise to the top.
5. Web enrichment. For the leading stories, a Google search pulls the latest verified facts — beyond what the feeds captured in the last 24 hours.
6. Write. Finally an AI writes the brief, organized into sections (what matters now, the world, France, finance, tech, crypto, noteworthy, and a positive note to close), then translates it into French.

What I care about

Staying factual and even-handed: corroborating across sources, attributing contested claims, and never presenting one outlet's framing as settled fact. The real safeguard isn't prompt wording — it's source diversity and cross-source clustering.

Everything runs on one small server: gathering, the AI (Google Gemini), and this website. The brief is generated automatically every day at 09:30 Paris time.
