Weekly Digest

Every Sunday at 6:00 PM UTC, NeuralRepo sends you a weekly digest email summarizing your idea activity. With a BYOK AI key configured, the digest includes intelligent analysis and suggestions.

What the Digest Contains

Without a BYOK Key

• New ideas this week — a list of ideas created since the last digest.
• Status changes — ideas that moved between statuses (e.g., captured to building).
• Basic stats — total idea count, tag distribution.

With a BYOK Key

Everything above, plus AI-powered sections:

• Weekly summary — a narrative overview of your week’s idea activity and emerging themes.
• Stale idea flags — ideas in exploring or building status that have not been updated in 14+ days, with suggestions on whether to continue or shelve them.
• Connection suggestions — ideas that appear related but are not yet linked, based on semantic similarity.
• Tag suggestions — ideas that may benefit from additional tags based on their content.

Tip

The AI-powered digest sections require a configured BYOK key. See the BYOK setup guide for instructions.

Delivery Schedule

Event	Schedule	Cron Expression
Weekly digest	Sunday 6:00 PM UTC	0 18 * * SUN
Stale idea check	Monday 9:00 AM UTC	0 9 * * 1

The digest is sent to the email address associated with your NeuralRepo account. The stale idea check runs separately on Monday mornings and flags ideas that have not been updated recently.

Configuration

The weekly digest is enabled by default for all accounts. You can manage it from Settings > Notifications in the web dashboard.

Options:

• Enable/disable the weekly digest email.
• Stale threshold — configure how many days before an idea is flagged as stale (default: 14 days).
• Preferred AI provider — select which BYOK provider to use for the digest summary.

Testing the Digest

You can trigger a test digest at any time without waiting for Sunday:

curl -X POST https://neuralrepo.com/api/v1/user/test-digest \
  -H "X-API-Key: nrp_your_key_here"

Response:

{
  "status": "ok",
  "message": "Test digest sent to you@example.com",
  "ai_summary_included": true
}

The ai_summary_included field indicates whether a BYOK key was available for the AI summary. If false, the digest was sent with the basic (non-AI) format.

How It Works

The digest is generated by a Cloudflare Workers Cron Trigger that fires every Sunday at 6 PM UTC:

1. The cron job queries all active users with digest enabled.
2. For each user, it gathers the week’s activity: new ideas, status changes, and stats.
3. If the user has a BYOK key, it calls the AI provider to generate a summary, stale flags, and connection suggestions.
4. The digest is formatted as an HTML email and sent via the configured email provider.

Note

The stale check cron (Monday 9 AM UTC) runs independently. It scans ideas in active statuses and updates internal metadata. The results feed into the next weekly digest but do not trigger a separate email.

Example Digest

A typical AI-powered digest looks like this:

Your NeuralRepo Week — March 17-23, 2026

You captured 5 new ideas this week, with a focus on developer tooling and API design. Your most active area was the “CLI improvements” cluster, where you added 3 related ideas.

Stale Ideas (3)

• #18 “GraphQL schema generator” — exploring for 21 days. Consider moving to building or shelving.
• #24 “Mobile app onboarding flow” — building for 30 days with no updates.
• #9 “Redis cache layer” — exploring for 45 days.

Suggested Connections

• #42 “Rate limiter middleware” and #38 “Token bucket implementation” appear related but are not linked.
• #5 “API versioning strategy” may be a parent of #47 “Breaking change policy.”
