Chapter 15 — Information Integration: Turn Feeds Into Daily Notifications
Information integration fears two things: too much info, where the truly important drowns; and too-loud notifications, where everyone treats it as background noise.
WorkBuddy turns multiple sources into a filterable, explainable, traceable notification system — e.g. GitHub trending daily, AIHOT industry reports, paper & tech-trend tracking, WeChat-account and blog monitoring, news & hot-list sentiment, fact-checking and source backfill.
So users miss less of what's actually worth reading each day.
The Common Workflow for Info Notifications
Whether GitHub projects, AI news, papers, policy or hot lists, a stable info notification breaks into the same chain: collect, dedupe, filter, summarize, then push by audience and scene.

A[Subscriptions & search tasks] --> B[Fetch & dedupe]
B --> C[Classify & score importance]
C --> D[Summary, translate & impact judgment]
D --> E[Source backfill & fact-check]
E --> F[Generate notification cards]
F --> G[Push to Feishu, WeChat, email or docs]
G --> H[Archive & review keywords]
| Stage | What it solves | Common output |
|---|---|---|
| Collect | Pull candidates from news, hot lists, GitHub, arXiv, RSS, WeChat accounts, search engines. | Candidate list, raw links, publish time, source. |
| Dedupe | The same event may be reported by multiple sources. | Merge same-event items; keep first-publish and authoritative source. |
| Filter | Not every new item is worth pushing. | Importance score, relevance score, risk level. |
| Summarize | Turn long articles, papers, project READMEs into readable summaries. | Three-sentence summary, impact judgment, target audience. |
| Verify | Avoid treating rumor, marketing posts, wrong info as fact. | Evidence table, credibility, items to confirm. |
| Notify | Push in a fixed format to the right audience. | Feishu cards, WeChat group messages, daily-report docs, email digests. |

GitHub Trending Daily Notification
For example: every day at 9 a.m. fetch GitHub Trending and AI trending. Filter by language, topic, star growth, recent commits, license. Push only the top 5–10, with a "is it worth trying" judgment.
Every day at 7 a.m. return GitHub trending projects and output a brief project intro
AIHOT Generates an AI Industry Daily
AI industry info updates fast; AIHOT can be a ready-made source. It offers curated content for AI dynamics — models, products, industry, papers — and supports Agent use.
For example: at a fixed daily time pull AI dynamics from AIHOT. Group by model, product, industry, paper, open-source, commercialization. Score each item on "impact scope, credibility, relevance to our team". Push only 5–8 key items; the rest go to a doc archive. For high-impact items, add a second-pass search to backfill the original link or official source.
