The Information Is Infinite. Your Attention Is Not. Use Agents.
Your problem is not access to information. Your problem is the volume of it. The fix is a small agent that reads everything for you and hands you a two paragraph brief once a day.
If you are a senior leader, your problem is not access to information. Your problem is the volume of it. Three newsletters before coffee, a Slack channel that never sleeps, four Substacks you meant to cancel, LinkedIn telling you what some VP at a competitor thinks about org design. By the time you sit down to actually think, your brain is already full of other people's takes.
The fix is not another reader app. The fix is a small agent that reads everything for you, filters by what you actually care about, and hands you a two paragraph brief once a day. This is a starter project. You can build it this weekend.
Here is the menu of tools, in order of how much they will let you ship versus how much they will let you sleep.
The fastest path is Perplexity Computer at perplexity.ai/hub/blog/introducing-perplexity-computer. It launched earlier this year and it is built exactly for this. You give it a standing instruction like every weekday at 7am scan these ten sources for anything related to identity threat detection and zero trust architecture, give me a 200 word summary with links. It runs. It does not need you to host anything. For most operators this is enough and you should stop here.
If you want more control, Claude with Skills at anthropic.com/news/skills is the next step up. Skills let you give Claude a persistent set of instructions and small files it loads when relevant, and you can wire it to MCP servers that pull from your sources. More setup. More flexibility.
Then there are the autonomous agents that go further. Manus at manus.im will take a goal and run a multi step plan across the web on its own. Google Antigravity at antigravity.google is the new agent first IDE that ships browser, terminal, and editor as one workspace.
A note on Antigravity. Security researchers have already shown it can be tricked into reading credential files and exfiltrating data through prompt injection, and Google has been slow to patch. For a personal news agent that only touches public RSS feeds, the blast radius is small. For anything that touches your work files, do not use it yet.
If you want secure and open source, look at Gemini CLI at github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli or OpenCode at opencode.ai. Both run locally. Both are auditable. Both are slower to set up and less polished. You trade convenience for the fact that nothing leaves your machine without you knowing.
The point is not which tool. The point is the muscle. Once you have built one agent that reads for you, you will build one that drafts your weekly note, then one that preps your one on ones, then one that watches for a specific competitor move. Each one saves you an hour. Stack five of them and you have your week back.
Start small. Pick three sources. Ship something ugly by Sunday.
