Personal Project
A tool to track emerging technologies and breakthroughs. Define a topic, and it monitors multiple sources for relevant developments — academic papers, GitHub repos, new products, patents, discussions. Built this before I knew about Cursor. Two months of spare time, collaborating with Claude, copy-pasting code back and forth. Multi-service AI orchestration held together with determination. Still works. Still use it occasionally.

Working, still in use
How It Works
Define a topic of interest. The AI breaks it into specific search keywords for each service.
- •
Services integrated
arXiv, GitHub, Product Hunt, USPTO, Reddit, Hacker News
- •
The pipeline
AI generates search terms → searches all six → second AI analyses results → content scored → high-scoring content presented
The Interface
Two views to explore findings. Overview gives you summaries and a chat window to interrogate the data. Details shows individual results with relevance scores.

Still Working
This tool still runs. I fire it up occasionally when I want to understand what's happening in a space. Not polished enough to share, but functional enough to use.
