What lands in your feed
Four things. Zero filler.
Every item earns its place or it does not ship. This is the whole menu:
Curated open-source tools
We shortlist projects actually worth your time - tested, not just trendy.
GitHub & Hacker News signal
What developers are forking, starring and arguing about, filtered down to signal.
Context, not just headlines
Why it matters, in two sentences, from someone who builds with AI for a living.
What you get
From the frontier to the tools.
One brief, four depths. Every edition moves through the whole range:
The strongest AI stories
The biggest AI stories of the last 72 hours, verified and linked to their primary sources.
Research, explained
The papers that matter, read so you don't have to - what changed and why it counts.
Use cases that work
How teams actually ship with AI - real deployments, not demo videos.
Open-source tools
Projects we test before we recommend. Not hype, not trend-chasing - signal.
Inside the brief
What lands in your inbox.
A look at the shape of a Sunday edition - before it reaches subscribers:
AI Express · latest edition—
Latest edition
Fresh every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday.
The tools, GitHub radar and context stay subscriber-only. Subscribers always read first, in full.
Why AI Express
Built like a product. Run like a newsroom.
Human-approved, agent-assisted
Agents scan around the clock; Alex Cirstea verifies every story before it ships. Machine speed, human judgement.
stories per brief
A hard cap, not a quota - if it did not earn its place today, it simply does not run. No padding, ever.
Telegram daily
Morning, noon and evening - the day in three passes, at 08:00, 13:30 and 20:15 utc.
emails per week
Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday at 07:00 utc - the full brief, plus the tools and trends worth keeping.

Same filter, three languages - pick Romanian, English or German, and switch whenever you like.
No spam. No data games.
Double opt-in, processed in the EU, unsubscribe in one click. No questionnaires, no hard feelings.
FAQ
Asked before you ask.
Is it really free?
Yes - both Telegram channels and the email brief are free. A paid tier may
appear later for extras; the core brief stays free.
What is the difference between Telegram and email?
Telegram is the fast lane: three short digests a day. Email is the deep lane:
three times a week you get the curated brief plus our open-source tool picks, GitHub/HN signal and
context. Most readers end up using both.
Who is behind AI Express?
Alex Cirstea - 4+ years building with AI systems - through
Codex Neuralis.
Agents do the scanning; a human signs off every single edition.
Will you spam me or sell my data?
No spam and no data selling, ever. Double opt-in, processed in the EU,
one-click unsubscribe. The privacy policy holds the fine print.
How are you different from the big English newsletters?
They aggregate; we filter - with skin in the game. We build with these
tools every day, we publish our own open-source picks, and our Romanian channel covers AI
properly for Romanian readers - which almost nobody does.
Do you publish the articles on the website?
No - the newsletter is the product. Sunday editions appear on this site
a few days later, partially unlocked. Subscribers always read first, in full.
Which languages?
Three: Romanian, English and German. Telegram runs in EN and RO; the
email brief comes in all three. Pick your language when you subscribe.
How do I unsubscribe?
One click, in any email footer. No guilt trips, no surveys.
Where to follow
Pick your lane.
Email for the deep brief. Telegram for the daily pulse. Both, if you want the whole picture.
Read the week the way we did.
Ten stories, verified and human-approved, three times a week. The tools, the trends and the context that matter, before they hit the feeds. No filler, no noise.
