Start with an example post or rough thoughts. AI recommends reusable blanks; you can edit and save the result.
Focus on Katie first. Talent matching and broader rollout are secondary. These summarize the intended workflow; source connections still depend on access and setup.
External setup still pending. X account/use confirmation, funding and live feed controls; AWS hosting, secure remote access and recovery. Local feature completion does not establish those connections. Timing discussed for October 16–22 remains a proposed rollout window, with an evaluation buffer after the demo.
Our recommendation: a small, invitation-only pilot on one AWS Lightsail server, SQLite on an encrypted attached disk, Cognito sign-in and tested backups.
To build Hosting and managed sign-in are proposed. This version currently needs this Mac and a local account.
Server, encrypted disk, backups, basic monitoring, credentials and email.
No separate database service. The $0.80/month data disk is included in hosting.
Daily evidence checks, corroborating searches, one post a day, revisions and template chat.
Assumes 2–5 users, light traffic, a US AWS region and an existing domain. These are estimates, not current charges or a quote. Domain registration, tax, paid support, engineering/operator time, licensed feeds and higher availability are extra. No cloud resources have been provisioned.
| Item | Cost | What the estimate assumes |
|---|---|---|
| AWS server | $12 | Linux + IPv4, 2 GB memory, 2 vCPUs, 60 GB system disk. Lightsail rates ↗ |
| Database disk | $0.80 | 8 GB attached storage, encrypted by default. Separate from the server’s system disk. Storage requirements ↗ |
| Katie’s sign-in | Usually $0 | Cognito Essentials direct sign-in within the available shared 10,000-user monthly free tier. Email is separate. Cognito rates ↗ |
| Backups | $1–3 reserve | Small retained snapshots and off-server database backups. Snapshots: $0.05/GB-month. Storage and retention change the bill. |
| Monitoring & logs | $0–5 reserve | Small log volume and basic uptime/error alerts; an operator still needs to respond. |
| API credentials | $1–2 reserve | Secrets Manager: $0.40/secret-month + $0.05/10,000 reads. Cache retrievals and rotate keys. Secret rates ↗ |
| Invitation/recovery email | Under $1 at pilot volume | SES Essentials: $0.16/1,000 emails + data. Verify a sending domain and delivery. SMS is not included. Email rates ↗ |
| Domain & HTTPS | $0 with existing DNS | Lightsail DNS is included; Route 53 is optionally $0.50/zone-month + queries. New domain registration is annual and varies. DNS rates ↗ · Free TLS certificates ↗ |
Allowances include contingency and do not assume promotional credits. Deployment, identity integration, migration/security work and ongoing support still need an engineering estimate and a named owner.
Our opinion: keep SQLite for the first single-server pilot. Move to managed PostgreSQL when multiple app servers, concurrent writing or stronger recovery requirements justify it.
| Choice | Extra monthly cost | Requirements / tradeoff |
|---|---|---|
| SQLite · recommended first | $0 service | One server, encrypted attached disk, mount checks, consistent nightly backups and a tested restore. A server outage still interrupts access. |
| Managed PostgreSQL | From $30 | Lightsail’s encrypted 2 GB database plan. Private connections and an application/schema migration are required. |
| Database failover | From $60 | Encrypted high-availability database plan. This protects the database; the single app server remains a separate failure point. |
The $15 entry database plan has no data encryption, so it is not our recommendation. Database rates ↗ · Managed database setup ↗
Preserve announcements, sources, writing references, drafts, posting history, permissions and AI jobs across deploys. Back up the database consistently and retain approved private files separately; disk snapshots alone do not prove a working restore. Recommend 30 days of backup retention, subject to source-use and deletion requirements.
Plan for one post a day, not one AI call. Our $10–20/month AI reserve includes checking 10 relevant candidates/day, corroborating searches, drafting/revisions, template chat and exception handling. Aim for 30 posts/month; skip a day if there is no supported story.
To build Writing and template chat exist. Automated X intake, independent source checks and review-by-exception still need implementation and evaluation.
Priority accounts/companies, relevant senior moves, duplicates and already-posted history. Rules first; AI for ambiguous leads.
Match person, company, role and effective date to original person/company evidence. Reposts are not independent confirmation.
Rank supported stories, select a fitting saved format and draft in Katie’s voice. Include sources; omit unsupported tenure.
Compare claims with evidence, qualify old dates, check links/tone/length and preserve edits. Refresh only changed evidence.
Katie handles conflicting claims, unclear identities or missing evidence. Clean drafts appear directly; no extra approval clicks.
X is a discovery lead. An AI score does not prove a move is correct. Require inspectable support for each career claim; leave unresolved items out of the daily draft and explain the gap. Never invent a story to meet the daily target.
per day · 300 per 30-day month · 1 post/day
| Process | Monthly volume | Planning assumption |
|---|---|---|
| AI extraction & evidence comparison | 600 calls | Two passes per candidate; source support and conflicts, not a truth guarantee. |
| Daily draft, revision & final checks | 90 calls | Three calls per daily post, including ranking/format choice and claim/voice checks. |
| Template chat & exceptions | 90 calls | Three additional calls/day across the workspace. |
| Corroborating web searches | 600 searches | Two billable search-tool calls per candidate; X reads are separate. |
Model tokens $1.77
Search tools $6.00
25% retry/usage buffer $1.94
Standard GPT-6 Luna: $0.10/M input and $0.50/M output tokens. Each model call assumes 5,000 input + 2,000 billable output tokens, including reasoning; each search adds 10,000 input tokens. Web search is $10/1,000 tool calls plus content tokens. These are illustrative volumes; actual evidence/context and retries vary. Model rates ↗ · Search rates ↗
26 model calls/day · 780/month at this volume. The current 20-attempt/day limit is per configured user and shared by writing/chat. For the proposed 10-candidate workflow, recommend 30/day for Katie plus a separate search/spend cap, after implementation. This calculator changes no limit and makes no request; the current model adapter cannot search the web.
Keep X’s optional $50 allowance separate. X charges $0.005 per returned post; raw discovery can return many more posts than the relevant candidates checked here. Cache/reuse permitted evidence, batch checks, exclude duplicates/posted stories and cap searches; track model tokens, search calls, X reads and failures separately. X rates ↗. Hosting, paid feeds, image generation, publishing integration and engineering/operator time are outside this AI estimate. No automatic LinkedIn publishing is connected.
A named operator adds her email; public registration stays closed.
Verify email and set up recovery with Cognito.
Managed login plus authenticator-app MFA over HTTPS.
Katie edits drafts; an administrator owns users, keys and budgets.
Cognito user management ↗ · Authenticator MFA ↗. Local password sign-in exists today; invitations, managed identity, self-service recovery and production role separation do not.
CurrentThe Python server binds to this Mac’s loopback URL. Host/origin checks and cookies are configured for local HTTP.
RequiredA supported production HTTP service, approved domain, TLS renewal, trusted proxy/host/origin configuration, Secure cookies, patching and a repeatable deployment/rollback route. Keep app and database ports private.
CurrentLocal passwords, reviewer/viewer roles and source grants work. There is no Cognito integration.
RequiredMap authenticated identities to accounts and source access; separate administrator credentials/billing from Katie’s editing role. Configure a verified email sender and test invitation/recovery delivery, including SES production access when needed. Test logout, revocation and blocked access to another user’s private writing configuration.
CurrentSQLite and consistent manual backups exist locally.
RequiredMount the production data disk before startup; preserve it across releases. Automate consistent encrypted off-server backups, handle private reference files, monitor disk usage and prove recovery. Decide retention and acceptable downtime; managed PostgreSQL needs migration work.
CurrentImports, posting-history exclusion and the local AI writing queue/cache exist. X intake, independent source checks and grouped automatic roundups are not implemented.
RequiredRun permitted source refresh reliably off this Mac; match identities/companies, deduplicate, cross-check career claims against original evidence and send only exceptions for human investigation. Rank supported unposted stories, draft/revise in Katie’s chosen format, check claims/dates/voice and recheck changed or withdrawn sources. Evaluate on confirmed moves, namesakes, reposts, rumors, old news and corrections before reducing routine review. Record tokens, tool calls, X reads and per-stage failures/spend; automate alerts for stale feeds, corrections, quota failures and missing daily stories.
CurrentModel keys use private local storage; writing samples are private and owner-authorized.
RequiredMove credentials to restricted managed storage, rotate keys and keep raw content out of logs. Carry source permissions into hosting and define refresh/removal, data location and deletion for evidence and writing references. Paid or licensed feeds may add separate fees.
RecommendedName the hosting/billing operator and support contact. Alert on downtime, failed jobs, stale feeds, backup failures, disk pressure and spend; set short log retention and keep logs redacted.
Before pilot acceptanceVerify the deployed version, Katie’s sign-in and permissions, restart persistence, restore procedure and a real drafting journey. Define incident/recovery ownership. Engineering setup and ongoing operator time are not priced in the service allowance.
Our proposed starting pointSingle server + SQLite · Named Cognito accounts · $25–50/month before X · Daily evidence checks + one post · Operator and domain owner to confirm
Our recommendation: start with original announcements and supplied evidence. Add X for discovery after access approval; use Katie’s examples for writing style.
Original hires, funding, launches and acquisitions.
Executive and board changes at US public issuers.
Recent joiners, company news, guests and hiring tips.
Discovery leads from confirmed company and founder accounts.
Explicit career changes and source-backed career context.
Hiring roundups and role spotlights; check the employer’s original listing.
Broader discovery and corroboration; trace stories to original evidence.
Regulatory and policy context; limited talent-movement coverage.
Tone, hooks, length and post patterns for drafting.
These labels describe available paths in this build. Imported stories still need source access and review; discovery leads and writing examples do not establish a career move.
Our recommendation: use these companies for the first watchlist. Each appears in Katie’s saved writing. Katie still confirms priority and news types; investment holdings are not asserted.
Saved research, awaiting editorial review. These cards are separate from the live Talent intelligence queue. Bodies read ≠ approved facts, fresh stories or connected feeds. Katie’s saved posts provide a writing reference for all 15 companies.

WhyA focused list keeps news relevant and review effort manageable. Katie confirms companies and X handles; confirmed investments and broader editorial interests remain distinct.
Confirm with themWhich candidates belong in the first 10–15, and which news types should we prioritize?
WhyRequire a person, the reported change, date and source. Add prior role and tenure when supported; show unknowns when missing. A departure can still matter when the next role is unknown.
Confirm with themDoes this seniority scope fit the show, and are there specific junior roles worth including?
WhyMatch each source-backed story to a writing pattern, then suggest an editable post. Use five varied drafts with Katie to assess style quality during the pilot; this is a recommended trial, not a prerequisite for daily suggestions.
Confirm with themCan we use “Katie would publish it with light edits” as the acceptance bar for those five drafts?
WhyAfter access and use approval, propose hosted hourly checks with a $50 X cap per billing cycle. Use a project-owned account; measure useful stories, earlier discovery and time saved. AI and hosting need separate budgets.
Confirm with themApprove this trial budget and name the account owner, source operator and daily editorial reviewer.
