# Betterpost Is Live

Betterpost is live, and it's now an MCP server you add to Claude or GPT. Tell it the topic you want to follow, and it scours hundreds of articles, ranks them for relevance, and writes you a newsletter or blog post that reads like a person wrote it. It's free to start with 100 credits.

## The thing I actually built

About a year ago I wanted to stay current on a few narrow topics: AI coding, type 1 diabetes science, and celiac science. The last two were for family members. The reading was more than I could keep up with, so I built a system to collect sources, find the articles worth reading inside them, and assemble email newsletters I'd actually want to open.

That system became Betterpost. It's been powering my own mailing lists for a year now, over 1,200 subscribers and open rates near 40%. The newsletters aren't slop. They're the ones I read first.

## Why this works for LLMs

The job here is summarizing, not reasoning. That distinction matters. Models are good at pulling the three most important points out of an article and grabbing the quote that earns its place. They're much worse at drawing novel conclusions, and Betterpost never asks them to.

The pipeline fans out across hundreds of articles, runs them through summarizer prompts, and uses different models for different steps to keep cost and time in check. Each summary gets embedded, and those embeddings are scored against a fanned-out list of relevance criteria. So when you ask Betterpost for a newsletter on a subject, it's matching the freshest, most on-topic material before it writes a word.

By the way, Claude wrote all the prompts. I haven't written one by hand in a year.

## A year of learning to write like a human

Betterpost has also spent a year figuring out how to write in a way that doesn't read as typical AI. This isn't about disguise. The output is openly machine-assisted. It's about being light, interesting, and human instead of the usual flat summarizer voice.

All of it is adjustable, and projects are unlimited. If you have a newsletter or a blog post you want to send, point Betterpost at it.

## The UI is gone

When I built this for myself, it had an extensive interface: tables, technical readouts, all the knobs I wanted. That's all gone now.

Betterpost is entirely an MCP server. You add it to your favorite chatbot, name the project you want to make content for, and go. No dashboard, no menu. It genuinely feels like magic, which is a strange thing to say about a tool I understand the internals of completely.
