Behind the build: how I automated a daily AI tools discovery pipeline as a solo founder

Launching on July 29th and wanted to share a bit about how StackPilot works under the hood while we count down...

The challenge: there are 10,000+ AI tools and new ones launch every day. Manual curation doesn't scale.

So I built an automated pipeline:

Agent 1 — Discovery (runs daily at 6am)

Scrapes RSS feeds from TechCrunch, VentureBeat, TNW → filters AI tool mentions → logs candidates to Google Sheets

Agent 2 — Research & Publish (runs daily at 9am)

Picks top candidate → Perplexity researches the tool → Claude AI writes the structured review → publishes directly to the site via Sanity CMS

Zero manual intervention. The site updates itself every day.

Built with: n8n (self-hosted), Claude AI, Perplexity, Sanity, Lovable.

Happy to answer questions about any part of the stack. What would you build differently? 🤔
