Ansible: AI-powered triage for your Readwise library hoarding

You save articles faster than you read them. Everyone does. The reading list grows, the cognitive load grows with it, and FOMO does the rest. What you need isn't another productivity system. You need triage. That's what I built.
Ansible connects to your Readwise Reader library, syncs your unread items — articles, PDFs, videos with transcripts — and generates AI summaries tagged by topic. Read the summary, get the key takeaways, and decide: is this worth the full reading time, or can I move on?
Two-tier reading: summary-first, selective deep-dive.

It's also the first project I've built end-to-end using the templated agent assisted development workflow I've been refining for the past year — specs first, tests written before implementation, multi-agent PR reviews throughout. 240 tests, 95%+ coverage. Every decision documented and used as reference for future changes.
More on that process in a separate post. But if your Readwise library is quietly judging you, give Ansible a try.
