Roasted, scored, ready to scaffold.\n\n## What you are building\n\n**Problem:** Newswise app which rewrites the news acc to the age and reading.level\n\n**Verdict:** ALREADY EXISTS — _\"Congrats, you've reinvented Newsela, which schools have been paying for since 2012.\"_\n\n**Summary:** An agent that scrapes news articles and rewrites them using LLMs at multiple Lexile/reading levels tailored to the user's age profile.\n\n## Agent-readiness score\n\nOverall: **70/100** (band B)\n\n| Dimension | Score | Why |\n|---|---|---|\n| Memory required | 22/25 | Stateless or single-session — minimal memory layer. |\n| Tool count | 11/25 | Crowded market: at least 8 integrations to compete. |\n| Policy surface | 15/25 | Mid-size policy surface — define refusal categories before launch. |\n| Eval coverage | 22/25 | Established eval pattern — golden datasets and public benchmarks already exist. |\n\n> Ready to scaffold today. AgeFilter News 3000 could be a working prototype in a week.\n\n## Suggested tools\n\n- fetch (HTTP GET on a URL allow-list)\n- search (Brave / Tavily / Exa for competitor research)\n- database (Postgres / Supabase for user state)\n\n## Smoke evals\n\n- The agent introduces itself as \"AgeFilter News 3000\" and refuses tasks outside the stated scope.\n- Given the canonical problem (\"Newswise app which rewrites the news acc to the age and reading.level\"), the agent produces a plan in ≤ 200 tokens.\n- When asked \"what's different from Newsela?\", the agent gives a concrete differentiator, not a marketing line.\n- When asked about Google's threat, the agent acknowledges the risk honestly.\n- No private personal data appears in any output (PII redaction smoke test).\n\n## Stack\n\n- Model: `claude-sonnet-4-6` (Anthropic). Override via `ANTHROPIC_MODEL` env.\n- Suggested stack: `Next.js`, `Claude API or GPT-4o`, `newspaper3k`, `textstat`, `Supabase`\n- Solo build estimate: 3-4 days for a working MVP, 3 months to make it not embarrassing\n\n## Kill prediction\n\nGoogle could obsolete this in Already happening — Chrome's AI features summarize any article on-page right now. Google's 'Help me understand' and AI Overviews in Search will rewrite any article at any complexity level inline, killing the need for a separate app entirely\n\n**Survival strategy:** Pivot to a B2B API for publishers wanting WCAG accessibility compliance — sell to CNN.com, not readers\n\n## Hand-off\n\n- Read the full analysis: https://whycantwehaveanagentforthis.com/result/agefilter-news-3000-newswise-which-rewrites\n- Open in Anthropic Managed Agents: see the deeplink on the result page\n- Claim this idea: https://whycantwehaveanagentforthis.com/result/agefilter-news-3000-newswise-which-rewrites#claim\n\n## Build it with a human\n\nBook 20 min and we figure out the wedge that isn’t taken yet — free, no signup: https://cal.com/sattyamjjain\n","scaffold_sh":"#!/usr/bin/env bash\n# Generated by whycantwehaveanagentforthis.com — F-N1 Build-this-with\n# Source: https://whycantwehaveanagentforthis.com/result/agefilter-news-3000-newswise-which-rewrites\n#\n# Bootstraps a starter repo for \"AgeFilter News 3000\" with a CLAUDE.md\n# pulled from this site.
