Briefing Service

Hourly, ranked, structured news briefings for AI agents and small displays. Pay per request with x402, or take a license key.

All services on one page: what each one does, the first command to run, prices, and where to manage your billing.

Own a reMarkable or Kindle? The same briefing as a Morning Paper on your device every day at 7:00 ET, PDF or EPUB, free for 7 days, no card: sign up in a minute.

The same page, on the reader it was built for. Every screen below is served by the API.

Morning Paper

Every briefing is also typeset as a multi-page PDF for reading e-paper: front page plus one page per story with the full detail, why it matters and key points, sized for reMarkable and Kindle Scribe (1404×1872). It navigates like a document: an outline entry per story (the contents view on Kindle and reMarkable), tap-to-jump story blocks on the front page, and a clickable source link on every story page. Free to download: https://briefing-service.wholemind.workers.dev/v1/briefings/ai/paper.pdf (also finance, sports, soccer, us, world, labs, crypto, grants, slow-es-b1). Prefer reflowable text on a 6-inch Kindle, a Kobo or a phone? The same paper as an EPUB: https://briefing-service.wholemind.workers.dev/v1/briefings/ai/paper.epub; Kindle delivery below can send the EPUB instead of the PDF.

Your paper: your newsletters and saved links, typeset every morning

Tick "Build my paper from my own newsletters and saved links" at /paper and you get a private forwarding address. Forward newsletters to it (or subscribe to them with it), save any web page with a one-click bookmarklet, and each morning the same editor typesets what came in as your own Morning Paper on your Kindle or reMarkable: front page, one page per item, why it matters. Days with an empty inbox get the briefing you picked instead. Free 7-day trial, no card; the $9/month Reader key keeps it going.

Get it on your reMarkable or Kindle every morning

Paste the one-time code from my.remarkable.com and the paper of your choice lands in a "Morning Paper" folder on your tablet at 7:00 ET every day. Free for 7 days per Kindle or reMarkable, no card; a Reader key ($9/month) keeps it going and covers the full API. Sign up at /paper. Kindle delivery is available at /paper too: approve the sender paper@wholemind.tech at amazon.com/sendtokindle, enter your @kindle.com address, and the paper arrives by email at 7:00 ET (today's right away). Add a personal sheet in front of the paper: date, weather, today's calendar, a checklist and ruled notes (preview). Reader key holders can replace the stock briefing with a paper ranked from their own feeds.

For teams

A daily briefing over your own sources (release notes, competitors, status pages), delivered to Slack, email, e-ink or MCP: Team Briefing, $49/month per team, 14-day trial, with a real sample rendered from public feeds. (The /teams page on this workers.dev address is behind an automated Cloudflare review since Sep 12; the same page on wholemind.tech works.)

Prices

The briefing list and every front page are always free: point an e-ink dashboard at https://briefing-service.wholemind.workers.dev/v1/briefings/ai/pages/0.png (480×800), or add ?size=wide for 800×480. Every IP gets 25 free JSON, page or MCP tool requests a day (the x-trial-remaining header counts down), so you can try the data before paying. No accounts are needed for x402: your agent gets a 402, pays, and retries.

Notes

Briefings summarize and link to their sources; the product is the ranking, the summaries, and the rendering. For a briefing over your own feeds, or bulk terms, email hello@wholemind.tech.
