Daily Wingman

How it works

You set the direction. Your Wingman does the legwork.

Give it the shape of your real life. It checks what is happening, filters out what does not fit, and returns exactly five useful possibilities—with reasons and sources attached.

01 · Shape it

Start with what makes life yours.

No personality quiz and no assumed version of what you should like. You provide practical signals that make a recommendation useful.

Illustrative example · Oli in SydneyYOUR SETTINGS
01

Place

Your city and the distance you are willing to travel.

02

Interests

The teams, hobbies, food, culture and subjects you genuinely care about.

03

Boundaries

Topics, sources and assumptions you want excluded.

04

Real life

The time, budget, services and social context available today.

05

Mode

A quick catch-up, no politics, low budget, weekend plans—or a surprise.

You stay in control. Change a preference, exclude a topic or switch mode whenever the day changes.

02 · Do the legwork

Turn context into five useful possibilities.

Daily Wingman is not asking one algorithm for five similar links. It narrows the field deliberately, then builds a balanced edition.

  1. 1
    Find credible candidates

    Use approved sources and current context—not anonymous claims or content without provenance.

  2. 2
    Apply your hard boundaries

    Remove excluded topics, unsuitable costs, impossible travel and anything outside the mode you chose.

  3. 3
    Rank for usefulness and variety

    Compare relevance, timeliness and actionability while avoiding five versions of the same idea.

  4. 4
    Explain the selection

    Attach the source, timing and the human-readable reason each item earned its place.

03 · Receive the Five

One small edition. Five distinct jobs.

Each slot helps in a different way, so the result feels like a considered day—not a feed ranked by attention.

  1. 01

    Know

    One thing in the world worth understanding.

  2. 02

    Follow

    A useful update from an interest you chose.

  3. 03

    Enjoy

    Something matched to your taste and available time.

  4. 04

    Improve

    One practical idea for life, skills, home or wellbeing.

  5. 05

    Do or Discuss

    A concrete next action or conversation worth having.

ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE04 / Improve

Sydney weather × seasonal gardening

This weather is going to be bloody lovely.

A mostly sunny July day becomes three useful garden possibilities matched to location, season and available time—not another generic forecast.

04 · Act and tune

Use it. Tune it. Finish.

Every item offers a useful next move and a way to correct the fit. Feedback changes future selection; it does not open another stream of content.

Five useful things. Then you’re done.

Close it, get on with the day, and return tomorrow for a new finite edition.

The bargain

Personalised without becoming a trap.

No infinite feed

The edition ends after five. There is nothing underneath designed to keep you scrolling.

Explicit choices outrank inference

What you tell Daily Wingman matters more than behavioural guesses. Preferences stay understandable and correctable.

Sources travel with the item

Each selection keeps its provenance, timing and a plain-language reason for appearing.

Sensitive subjects get a higher bar

Health, finance, politics and relationships require stronger evidence and recorded human approval.
