# cross-platform notification bots

bots that bridge platforms you do not check often. examples: weekly summary of LinkedIn activity, ping every time someone DMs on Slack. the core problem is attention fragmentation across too many platforms.

this is a specific instantiation of the [[ifttt-personal|personal IFTTT]] concept and relates to the [[build-in-public|build/learn in public]] crossposter idea (which goes in the other direction — posting outward rather than pulling inward).

**spreadsheet evaluation:** tech depth 4/10, labeled [WRONG FIT] ("API wiring, not deep tech"). the "agent to agent communication" variant (LinkedIn/dating/negotiation) is listed separately with tech depth 6/10 but also [WRONG FIT] ("interesting multi-agent problem but scope unclear").
