How do I use the site each day?
Visit the home page to read the freshest dispatch or browse the archive to jump to any prior date. Each entry includes the news summary, Stoic reflection, tags, and links back to the original article.
How is AI involved?
We rely on OpenAI's Responses API to generate both the concise article summary and the Stoic meditation. Editorial prompts keep the tone grounded, and every response is reviewed automatically for formatting before it appears.
Where does the source article come from?
A source client fetches the latest Guardian opinion piece via the Guardian Open Platform API by default. The system stores the article metadata and text in Vercel Postgres so the archive remains searchable.
