Best-of list for a local blog post

What it does

Every month: the best-rated brunch spots in your city, the top 10 with a short blurb for each by xMap AI and an introduction and title for the post, emailed as a draft for your content team, with a map.

In one sentence: Monthly on the 1st at 08:00, in Los Angeles, find brunch restaurants and cafes in the area, sort them by rating and keep the top 10, write a summary of each with xMap AI, write a report with xMap AI, then email the list to you and show them on a map.

Why it is useful

The time it saves

Monthly on the 1st at 08:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 120 minutes each time; it runs about 1 time a month, so it saves about 2 hours a month (an estimate). It is medium: 8 blocks.
