About

We're building a newsletter platform that trains an AI Writer on your past issues, scores incoming sources against it, and gives you a draft to review before sending. Background: My co-founder and I ran AI-assisted newsletters for ourselves and for clients for about a year and a half before opening HeyNews to outside operators. Around 600 issues shipped across 10+ formats during that time. The product is the system we built for our own workflow. Before this, 15+ years in AI, SEO, and growth marketing.

How I built an AFK coding-agent loop to ship HeyNews (issue to merge, without babysitting)

I spent most of my career doing non-technical work, and I now build our product, @HeyNews. I got there by talking to AI coding agents night after night. The catch: the agents are good company right up until 4am, when you're still hitting approve every thirty seconds and what you actually want is sleep.

So I built a loop I can walk away from and wrote up exactly how it works: https://blog.heynews.co/afk-codi...
