Expat Digest.

Expat Digest is an AI-powered local news aggregator for expats and digital nomads that translates, summarizes, and categorizes host-country news into a daily personalized digest — closing the information gap that every expat hits in their first month abroad and never fully solves.

The product solves three layered pains: language barrier (important local news isn't in English), source discovery (you don't know which local outlets matter), and information overload (hundreds of articles per day, none ranked for expat relevance). Onboarding takes a location + interests; the AI suggests RSS sources tuned to the user's town and topics; the system aggregates, translates, summarizes, and categorizes into expat-relevant buckets — Politics, Housing, Taxes, Transport, Safety, Immigration.

Built on GPT-4o-mini — selected for strong summarization, translation, and classification performance plus low cost and fast latency for batch processing daily digests. The AI pipeline runs six specialized prompts: RSS suggester, daily digest maker, translator, categorizer, evaluators (for category, translation, and summary quality), and individual article summarizer — each with anti-hallucination guardrails including target source count, format constraints, and region coverage validation.

Positioned in the AI-Driven News Aggregation Market growing from $2.43B (2024) to $8.84B (2032) at 17.62% CAGR, where Google News has weak personalization for expats, generic translators lack context, and no incumbent serves the expat + digital nomad wedge specifically.
