Get a morning news briefing on topics you choose
Set up a daily briefing from your AI assistant that rounds up news on your chosen topics, with links so you can read further.
When to use it
Every weekday at 7am
Step by step
Pick three to five topics
Be specific: 'electric van grants in the UK' works better than 'cars'. Write them in a note so you can tweak them later.
Create a scheduled task
If your plan includes it, ChatGPT's scheduled tasks and Gemini's scheduled actions can run a prompt for you each day and notify you. Paste this prompt and set the time.
Prompt to copyEvery weekday, search the news from the last 24 hours on these topics: [topic 1], [topic 2], [topic 3]. For each topic give up to 3 stories as: headline, one-sentence summary, why it matters to [who I am, e.g. a small café owner], publisher, date and link. Skip opinion pieces unless clearly labelled. If there is no real news on a topic, say 'nothing new' rather than filling space.Free fallback
No scheduled tasks? Set a recurring 7am reminder in your Reminders app and paste the same prompt into an assistant with web search each morning.
Click before you quote
Treat the briefing as a pointer, not the final word. Open the link before you share or act on any story, as dates and details can be wrong.
What you get
Café trade: 1) Milk prices expected to rise 4p a litre (Farming Weekly, 9 Nov, link). Why it matters: your latte margin. 2) Council opens applications for outdoor seating permits (Local Gazette, 8 Nov, link). Energy grants: nothing new.
Tips
- After a week, reply with which stories were useful and which weren't, and ask it to adjust.
