I'm subscribed to many newsletters, many of which are permanently hosted on Substack. I end up not reading most of them because of time constraints, especially when they're lengthy.

This workflow is replacing many of my newsletter subscriptions: it summarizes the original post in up to 5 very brief bullets, giving me exactly the amount of information for me to decide whether to click into the full post or not!
