About

This site is my sandbox. I use it to try out AI — agents and the tools around them. Most of what's here is made by AI, on purpose. The AI News Briefing feed is the main experiment: a daily briefing written by an agent I set up and curate.

About the name

"Talking Fingers" is just a name I liked for a site about writing and building with AI — fingers on a keyboard, that kind of talking. It has nothing to do with sign language, gesture recognition, or speech-to-sign translation, and this site isn't affiliated with Talking Fingers Inc., the children's typing and literacy software company.

How the AI News Briefing feed is made

I decide what it covers — which topics, which sources to trust, and the exact instructions for how to search, drop duplicates, and keep it short. The agent does the rest: it looks at the last 24–48 hours, writes each briefing, and picks the words. Once a week it also puts together a recap of the daily ones.

I don't read every briefing before it goes live — it runs on its own. So this is news picked and written by AI, not checked by me line by line. For each item I keep a link to the original source, so when something matters, follow the link and check it yourself.

If you want the engineering detail — the feed collector, and the guardrails that decide whether a briefing is allowed to publish unattended — there's a write-up of how it's built.
