Purpose
Luxury Intelligence saves you hours of reading by curating the most relevant articles across four key sectors: AI & Strategy, Ecommerce & Retail Tech, Luxury & Consumer, and Jewellery Industry.
Every week, 28 ranked articles (seven in each of four categories) are published to the web, delivered by email, and scripted into a podcast briefing — so you can read, skim, or listen depending on how your week is going.
The Editor
The Editor
Background in management consulting and particle physics research. Based in Copenhagen.
Luxury Intelligence is a personal project — a weekly effort to surface the most signal-rich stories across luxury, ecommerce, AI, and jewellery: the four industries I work at the intersection of every day.
How It Works
Five stages transform ~53 live sources into your weekly intelligence brief.
We monitor ~53 RSS feeds from trusted industry publications across six source tiers — from global newswires to specialist jewellery trade press. A Tavily web-discovery layer runs in parallel to surface high-quality articles that fall outside the feed list.
Each article is deduped, classified into one of four categories using keyword and source heuristics, then pre-scored on recency, source weight, and keyword relevance. Source diversity guards prevent any single publication from dominating.
The top 100 candidates per category are passed to a reasoning model (o4-mini), which applies editorial judgement — originality, business materiality, timeliness — to select the final seven articles per category. A paywall filter ensures only articles with accessible full text are included in the email digest.
Selected articles receive concise AI-generated summaries from title and snippet only — no full-article scraping, no paywalled content. A separate two-stage process generates the weekly one-sentence insight: one model proposes four analytically distinct candidates; a second model judges and selects the most original and thought-provoking one.
The brief is published simultaneously to the web, delivered to subscribers by email, and scripted into a podcast briefing of roughly 13–18 minutes, voiced with OpenAI text-to-speech. A cover image is generated for each issue using a SceneDirector prompt pipeline designed to produce distinctive, non-generic editorial visuals.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Luxury Intelligence?
Luxury Intelligence is a weekly curated digest covering AI & strategy, ecommerce & retail tech, luxury & consumer, and jewellery industry news. Each week, ~53 sources are monitored, hundreds of articles are ranked, and the most materially significant stories are summarised and published to the web, email, and podcast.
How are articles selected each week?
Selection runs through a two-stage pipeline: a deterministic pre-score based on recency, source tier, and keyword relevance filters the top 100 candidates per category; a reasoning model (Claude o4-mini) then applies editorial criteria — originality, business materiality, and timeliness — to select the final articles.
Are the article summaries AI-generated?
Yes. Summaries are generated by AI from article titles and snippets only — no full-article scraping. They are quality-checked through the same multi-stage ranking pipeline. Always read the original article for complete context.
How can I receive the weekly digest by email?
Subscribe at luxury-intel.com/subscribe. Free subscribers receive the weekly web digest; supporters receive the full email edition with deeper summaries.
Is a podcast version available?
Yes. Each week a podcast edition of roughly 13–18 minutes is voiced with OpenAI text-to-speech and embedded directly on the digest page. It covers the top stories across all four categories.
Which industries does the digest cover?
Four categories: AI & Strategy (enterprise and consumer AI developments), Ecommerce & Retail Tech (digital commerce, DTC, retail innovation), Luxury & Consumer (fashion, luxury brands, consumer trends), and Jewellery Industry (trade, market moves, brand strategy).
Transparency & Disclaimer
Fully automated: Articles are selected, ranked and summarised by AI from titles and snippets, with automated quality checks. No one reviews an issue by hand before it goes out, and the weekly Editor's Spotlight is written by AI. Always read the original article for full context.
Not Investment or Business Advice: This digest is for informational purposes only. Articles and summaries are not intended as investment, legal, or business advice.
Source Selection: Sources are selected based on relevance, quality, and regular publication schedules. We monitor ~53 feeds across six source tiers and aim for diverse perspectives, though coverage is necessarily selective.
Editorial Pipeline: Article selection runs through deterministic pre-scoring (recency, source tier, keyword relevance) followed by LLM reranking using explicit editorial criteria — originality, business materiality, and timeliness. Category assignments use source-level heuristics and may occasionally be imprecise.

If you just read the site. Every visit is counted anonymously: the page, the site that linked to it, your country and device type. No cookies are set and no IP address or identifier is stored — telling visitors apart within a single day uses a one-way code whose key is deleted daily.
If you accept analytics cookies. We also use Amplitude (data stored in the EU) to understand which stories and features are used, including session recordings of how pages are used. Text typed into form fields is masked and IP addresses are not stored. This runs only with your consent, which you can withdraw at any time via Cookie settings in the footer.
If you subscribe or support. We store your email address and plan to send the digest (via Resend), and payments are handled by Stripe — we never see your card details. Your email is kept until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it; payment records are kept as accounting law requires. Messages sent through the feedback form go to us via Formspree.
Where data goes. The site is hosted on Vercel and subscriber data is held in a Neon database; some of these providers process data in the United States under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework or Standard Contractual Clauses. We never sell data and run no advertising.
Videos (YouTube). Our weekly videos are hosted on YouTube. Digest pages show our own preview image, and the YouTube player (from youtube-nocookie.com) loads only when you press play. From then on YouTube processes data under the YouTube Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy. We use YouTube API Services only to upload videos to our own channel; we never access visitors' YouTube or Google accounts, and no visitor is ever asked to sign in with Google.
YouTube API data: storage and deletion. The only data we keep from YouTube API Services is about our own videos: each video's ID, title and upload time, used to show it on the matching digest page. It is kept as long as the video is published and deleted within 30 days of the video being removed from YouTube or from the site. Access is through our own channel's authorisation, which we can revoke at any time in Google Account security settings; anyone who has granted an app access to their Google account can revoke it on that page. Questions or deletion requests: the email address above. Our Terms of Use cover the videos too.
Your rights. You can ask to see, correct, export or delete your data, or object to its use, by emailing the address above. You may also complain to the Danish Data Protection Agency (Datatilsynet).
