Developer creates hourly e-ink newspaper using Claude Haiku 4.5

A developer has created an hourly e-ink newspaper pipeline that aggregates content from approximately 100 RSS feeds. This system uses AWS Lambda to process articles, employing Claude Haiku 4.5 via Bedrock to act as an editor and generate summaries, a lead story, and a "why it matters" section. The output is formatted for e-ink readers like the Xteink X4, reMarkable Tablet, and Amazon Kindle, and is also available as a PDF and an MCP server for AI agents. The developer noted that while the rendering is functional, the core product is the curated news feed, and initial adoption has been primarily from bots rather than human users. AI

IMPACT Demonstrates novel applications of LLMs for content curation and personalized news delivery, potentially inspiring new agent-based tools.

    I built an hourly newspaper for e-ink (and turned the pipeline into an MCP server)

    <p>Every hour, a Lambda pulls about 120 items from ~100 RSS feeds, asks a small model to act as an editor, and typesets the result as a 480x800 one-bit page for the Xteink X4 e-ink reader on my desk. The same pipeline now produces a multi-page "Morning Paper" PDF for reMarkable a…
