I maintain a website about German bureaucracy. The bigger the website grows, the harder it is to keep track of certain facts.

I'm building a pipeline that monitors various sources for changing information, and creates a pull request or an email notification when something changes. For example, it triggers an update to constants.json if the income tax threshold (§ 32a EStG) changes. It sends a daily email digest of relevant discussions in relevant communities. The goal is to lighten my workload and improve the quality of the information I share.

This is my first coding project where I use AI. I use Claude Code on a tight leash to write the code, and ChatGPT's smallest model to extract numeric values from monitored pages.

The website: https://allaboutberlin.com/

The git branch: https://github.com/All-About-Berlin/aab/tree/ai (under /monitor)
