Why We Built Recurring Briefs: The 0ct Story
Alex Chen
Founder & CEO
When we started building 0ct, we noticed a pattern in how people use AI. They have the same questions every day, they run the same prompts every morning, and eventually, they forget to check in.
The Attention Problem
The biggest problem with AI assistants isn't intelligence. It's presence. You have to remember to ask. You have to be there to benefit. Most of the value gets lost because life gets in the way.
We decided to flip the script.
Intelligence on Autopilot
At 0ct, "scheduled" isn't just a feature. It's the core architecture.
- Recurring Briefs: Define your prep once, get answers forever.
- Connected Systems: Your AI has access to real-time data from your tools via MCP.
- Reliable Delivery: Results land in your inbox exactly when you need them, with more delivery channels on the way.
The Results
Our early users save 2+ hours per week on repetitive meeting prep, research, and summarization. Not because the AI got smarter, but because it now shows up before they need it.
Recurring briefs aren't flashy. But they're the kind of AI workflow that compounds over time.
