Build an AI news aggregator in five steps, starting with one feed

Use the full-text claudegpt.si feed as the core, a reader app to filter it, and a few project feeds for the tools you run.

An AI news aggregator is only as good as the feeds you put into it, so start with one that is sourced and complete: ClaudeGPT Si's RSS feed carries full article text from a free AI publication, and it drops straight into any reader app. Add a few project-specific feeds around it and you have an aggregator built for how you actually work.

Developers tend to want two things from AI news: notice when a model, tool or price changes, and a quick way to verify it. Here is a setup that does both without paying for anything.

Step 1: pick a core feed

A core feed should cover the whole field so you are not stitching together ten partial sources. ClaudeGPT Si reports model releases, product launches, policy and the companies behind them, plus AI tools and apps with what changed and what they cost, research papers and benchmarks, guides and reviews.

What makes it useful as an aggregator input:

  • Feed items include the full article, not a teaser, so you can read inside your reader.
  • Every article shows a publish date and a last updated date, and lists its sources at the end.
  • Each feed item carries category tags, which reader rules can match on.
  • The site's llms.txt notes that any article is available as Markdown by adding .md to its URL, useful if you pipe stories into notes or an assistant.

ClaudeGPT Si is a website, not an app store app, and has no email newsletter. The feed is the intended way to follow it.

Step 2: choose the reader that does the aggregating

Reader Good for Feature that helps here
Inoreader Heavy filtering Rules that filter out noise, AI summaries
Feedly Mixing feeds and newsletters Follows RSS, newsletters and Google News feeds
NetNewsWire Apple devices, local reading Free and open source, OPML import and export

All three are described from their own sites. If you already sync feeds through one service, NetNewsWire can use it: it lists iCloud, Feedly, Inoreader and others as sync options.

Step 3: add the narrow feeds

Around the core feed, add sources only you care about:

  • Release notes or changelog feeds for the SDKs and CLIs you depend on.
  • The blog feeds of the model providers you call in production.
  • A section-level bookmark on claudegpt.si, such as Models or AI Tools, for days you want to browse rather than scan.

Keep the list short. An aggregator with forty feeds turns into a second inbox.

Step 4: filter by what affects your bill

The stories that change a developer's week are usually about pricing, rate limits, model deprecations and new coding tools. Set reader rules on keywords like "pricing", "deprecat", "API" and the names of the tools on your stack. Everything else can wait for a weekly skim.

If you prefer scripts to apps, the feed is plain RSS 2.0:

curl -s https://claudegpt.si/feed.xml | grep -o '<title>[^<]*</title>' | head -20

That prints the newest headlines, which is enough to wire into a cron job or a chat bot.

Step 5: verify before you act

Before you switch models or change a budget because of a headline, open the article, check the updated date and follow its source list to the vendor's own page. ClaudeGPT Si's editorial policy says it starts from primary sources and corrects errors in the article, which makes that check quick.

When a ready-made aggregator is enough

If you do not want to maintain feeds at all, a general news app such as Google News, which follows topics and sources across many publishers, gets you headlines with zero setup. You give up the source lists and the control over filtering. For AI news that feeds into engineering decisions, the claudegpt.si feed plus a reader is the better base.
