Writing forces you to focus on a project or sector deeply, but you still have to track headlines that could change your thesis or reframe the data.</p> <p>To solve this, I vibecoded <a href="https://defi-kai.github.io/kai-site/briefs/latest/">an AI research assistant</a> to keep me up to date with the latest news in crypto and finances everyday, in around 20 minutes reading time &ndash; down from 1-2 hours. It runs on locally hosted models including OpenAI&rsquo;s GPT OSS 20b, and Deepseek R1 via LM studio.</p>
