News Aggregation: Personalized Daily Digest
Set up your OpenClaw agent to compile a daily news digest tailored to your industry, interests, and priorities, with structured summaries and trend highlights.
What You Will Get
By the end of this walkthrough, your OpenClaw agent will deliver a personalized daily news digest that covers the topics, industries, and regions you care about. Each digest includes article summaries, source links, trend analysis, and key takeaways, all organized by priority so you get the most important information first.
Staying informed without drowning in information is a real challenge. Scrolling through dozens of news sites and feeds is time-consuming and often leads to missing important stories while getting distracted by irrelevant ones. Your agent solves this by filtering and summarizing only what matters to you.
You will also learn how to adjust your digest over time based on emerging interests, seasonal priorities, or specific projects. The agent adapts to your evolving needs so your daily briefing always stays relevant and actionable.
Step-by-Step Setup
Follow these steps to set up your personalized news digest.
Define Your Topic Interests
Tell your OpenClaw agent the topics you want to track. Be specific: instead of just technology, specify areas like artificial intelligence regulation, SaaS industry trends, or cybersecurity incidents. The more precise your topics, the more relevant your digest will be.
Set Priority Levels
Assign priority levels to your topics. High-priority topics appear at the top of your digest with more detailed summaries. Medium-priority topics get shorter summaries. Low-priority topics are included as brief mentions. This ensures you always see the most important stories first.
Feed News Content to the Agent
Provide the agent with the day's news content. You can paste article links, full text from RSS feeds, or newsletter content into the chat. Ask the agent to filter this content against your topic interests and compile the digest. The agent identifies which articles are relevant and discards the rest.
Request Structured Summaries
Instruct the agent to summarize each relevant article in three to five sentences. Each summary should include the key facts, the implications for your industry or interests, and any action items or decisions that the story might influence. This gives you the substance without the filler.
Add Trend Analysis
Ask the agent to identify trends across the day's stories. If multiple articles cover related topics, the agent groups them and provides a trend analysis that explains the broader narrative. This contextual layer transforms raw news into strategic intelligence.
Customize the Digest Format
Specify how you want the digest structured. A common format includes an executive summary at the top, followed by high-priority stories with full summaries, then medium-priority briefs, and finally a list of low-priority headlines. Ask the agent to format everything cleanly so you can read it quickly.
Iterate and Refine Over Time
After a week of daily digests, review which topics and stories were most useful and which were noise. Tell the agent to adjust your topic priorities, add new interests, or remove topics that are no longer relevant. Your digest improves with each round of feedback.
Tips and Best Practices
Start Narrow, Then Expand
Begin with a small set of highly specific topics and add more over time. A narrow focus produces a relevant digest from day one, and you can expand as you learn what the agent handles well.
Include Competitor Mentions
If competitor monitoring is important, add their names to your topic list. The agent flags any news articles that mention your competitors and summarizes the relevance to your business.
Save Important Digests
When a digest contains especially valuable insights, save it for future reference. You can ask the agent to compile a weekly or monthly highlights report from saved digests to track long-term trends.
Share with Your Team
If your daily digest is relevant to colleagues, copy and share it with your team. You can also ask the agent to create separate digest versions for different departments, each tailored to their specific interests.
