Local news died. Neighborhoods went dark.

Your neighborhood has stories worth telling. New taco spot on the corner. A mural going up on Main. The school fundraiser this Saturday. But there's nobody to write them anymore.

Local newspapers shuttered. Nextdoor became a complaint board. Community Facebook groups are buried in noise. The information that actually matters to your daily life disappeared.

Lamppost fixes this with AI. One agent monitors your neighborhood, writes the stories, and delivers a beautiful newsletter to every inbox. Every week. Automatically.

Three steps to light up your neighborhood

01

Pick your neighborhood

Define the area you want to cover. A zip code, a district, a few blocks. Lamppost maps the boundaries and starts monitoring.

02

AI writes the newsletter

Every week, the AI agent curates local events, news, business openings, and community stories into a beautifully formatted newsletter.

03

Your neighbors read it

Delivered to inboxes automatically. Subscribers grow organically as neighbors share what they're reading. Local businesses sponsor for visibility.

What Lamppost Does

Your neighborhood's AI correspondent

📰

Autonomous content creation

The AI monitors local sources, city calendars, permit filings, social feeds, and news outlets. It writes original newsletter content every week without any human input.

🏘

Hyper-local precision

Not city-wide fluff. Lamppost covers your specific neighborhood. The coffee shop on 5th. The park cleanup on Saturday. The new family that opened a bakery.

📈

Built-in monetization

Local businesses can sponsor newsletter sections. A featured restaurant, a promoted event, a new store opening. Revenue flows to the newsletter operator.

🤝

Community-first design

Readers can submit tips, event listings, and story ideas. The AI weaves community input into each edition, making every newsletter a collaborative effort.
