What it looks like
She reads widely
News sites, campus papers, company blogs, Hacker News, Reddit and public job boards, all checked through the day.
She picks for you
Each morning she weighs what changed against what you told her about your life and work, and keeps one to four items.
She learns from replies
React, reply or text "less of this" and the next morning changes. No settings page.
How Clara works, in numbers
These numbers are generated from Clara's production data every week, not written by hand.
Counted from Clara's own logs over the 7 days before Oct 29, 2026, refreshed weekly. Job boards are checked every 10 minutes.
Common questions
Where does Clara get her news?
From a list of news sources, campus and city papers, company blogs, Hacker News, Reddit and public job boards. Readers can add a source by texting its name or link. Every story she sends links to the original article so you can read it yourself.
Does Clara text me the moment news breaks?
Not usually. Clara sends one picked morning text, and only texts later if you asked her to watch something or a story you engaged with has real news. We do not promise alert speeds we have not measured.
