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.

Get it on your reMarkable or Kindle every morning

Get the paper of your choice by email every morning and open it on the tablet with the reMarkable app, or, if you choose the optional automatic push, paste a one-time code and it lands in a "Morning Paper" folder for you 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).

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.

Want the object without the setup? The desk edition is a 7.5-inch e-paper display that arrives on your Wi-Fi already showing a briefing, $149, pre-order, nothing charged until it is built; a $129 pocket edition on the Xteink X4 Pro carries all eleven briefings offline.
