How Artificial Insights is made

Artificial Insights is produced by a pipeline of AI agents I designed, prompted, and tuned over months. I edit the content by hand before each issue ships. This page walks through exactly what the machine does and where I sit in the loop.

Pipeline

  1. 1

    Source

    The pipeline pulls fresh articles from 15+ vetted publications — McKinsey, BCG, BIS, the Federal Reserve, MIT Technology Review, Finextra, PYMNTS, Banking Dive, and others.

  2. 2

    Filter

    A topic-extraction step scores each article for relevance to AI in banking and discards junk. Typically 80%+ of candidates are dropped here.

  3. 3

    Read & synthesize

    Claude reads the surviving articles end-to-end, identifies the top developments, extracts a key number, and drafts the executive summary, per-story analysis, and a strategic insight tying it all together.

  4. 4

    Edit & approve

    I read every briefing before it's published or emailed. I rewrite anything that's off, cut anything weak, and kill the whole issue if it isn't good enough. Nothing goes out without my sign-off.

Where I sit in this

I chose the sources, set the editorial angle, wrote the prompts that shape every section, and decide if the briefing meets my standards. Think of me as the editor of a small wire service whose reporters happen to be language models.

What this isn't

I don't draft the prose myself. If you read a briefing and it sounds like me, that's because I shaped the system to sound that way.
