Built and deployed an AI-assisted news personalisation workflow with a public web interface. Persona captures user preferences, aggregates stories from multiple sources, filters for relevance and supports scheduled newsletter delivery by email.
Persona is a workflow problem more than a model problem. Users describe the topics they care about, an email address and a delivery time through a chatbot-style interface; the workflow then fetches stories from several sources, filters them for relevance, and assembles a personalised summary on a schedule. The interesting work sits in the orchestration — source fan-out, relevance filtering, scheduling and delivery — and in handling personal data carefully at each step.
What was built
- Preference capture through a chatbot-style interaction rather than a long form.
- Multi-source news retrieval with a relevance filtering pass before assembly.
- Scheduling and email delivery logic driven by user-selected timing.
- Authentication and careful handling of personal data built into the workflow design.
