The idea of Neuz is simple: ask Claude to interview you about your interests to get a prompt that you run as a scheduled routine to generate a custom news feed. Then Claude pushes the JSON to the Neuz dashboard, which you can host privately on a VPS, homelab, your laptop, or RPi. Make it available only locally, on your network, or share it on the Internet.
The interview part is organized via the AskUserQuestion Claude tool; the resulting prompt can be fine-tuned and extended manually as you go. You can use a local or cloud Claude routine, or even with an open-weight model if it supports web search and scheduled tasks.
I completely get the point, and it's a shame. Apple is bad because it doesn't clearly announce this kind of limitation for third-party hardware and software before selling their phones. And I don't think Pebble or Garmin will either. Why not just limit your market to a platform that fits well? That would be the fairest solution for a customer.
Thank you for sharing the book, Brett! I definitely need to revisit the SDK which I had from its early versions, but unfortunately it was always lacking something. That was years ago tho.
