claudenotes
A weekly newsletter and podcast covering Claude Code releases, Anthropic blog posts, and AI news, all curated, drafted, and narrated by Claude.
The Monday brief in two formats: an email opened in Apple Mail, and the same week's episode on Apple Podcasts. Cover art is generated by code.
Anthropic ships so much so fast that keeping up by reading release notes stopped being feasible. The claudenotes brief is a weekly newsletter and podcast that covers Claude Code releases and AI news, curated and authored by Claude itself. It goes out every Monday morning.
The pipeline pulls from four sources: Claude Code's GitHub releases, Anthropic's engineering blog, the Claude blog, and a curated Google News RSS feed for adjacent AI news. Anthropic doesn't ship RSS feeds for either blog, so the system reads them through rss-feed-generator, a service I'd already built for Seattle Times topic pages that don't have feeds either. Claude condenses and categorizes the material, drafts the issue, writes the podcast script, and ElevenLabs narrates it. Everything runs on Vercel cron jobs and ships through Resend on Monday morning.
Claude does the research, the curation, the drafting, the narration. I designed the system: the editorial rails (sources, tone, cadence), the publishing infrastructure, and the Sunday review flow that lets me veto a send before it goes out Monday morning. Designing the system instead of authoring the output is a defensible position for editorial work, and one of the few that scales with a topic that ships faster than any human reader can track.
