Copy-paste prompt
Every weekday at 7am, search the last 24 hours of news and posts about [topics] from [sources]. Pick no more than 5 items that could affect our decisions, skip duplicates and rewritten press releases, and write 2 lines on each: what happened and why it matters to us. Link the original source. End with one suggested action, or 'no action needed'.
Fill in everything in [square brackets]. Put your approval rules (see the free operator's charter) above it.
What you need
- Topic list and trusted sources
- Optional X public search
How the agent does it
- Search news and trusted sources for the last 24 hours on your topics.
- Drop duplicates, press-release rewrites and anything without a primary source.
- Keep at most 5 items; write 2 lines each: what happened, why it matters to us.
- End with one suggested action or 'no action needed'.
What you get
A 5-item brief with links.
| Schedule | Weekdays at 7am. |
|---|---|
| Needs your approval | Read-only. |
| How to check it worked | Every item has a primary-source link from the last 24 hours. |
Common mistakes
- Hype items with no source. Require primary links.
Setting it up in each agent
In Grok Bot
Ask the Bot to run the prompt once and review the result. Then say "Save the process we just used as a skill called 'Industry news digest that skips the noise'" and "Create a routine that runs the Industry news digest that skips the noise skill weekdays at 7am". Grok Bot's docs say a Bot can own up to 50 routines, schedules must be at least five minutes apart, and you should use Test run before you enable one.
In Meta Muse
Paste the prompt into Muse and ask it to remember the job and run it on the schedule. Muse asks for approval before outbound actions and purchases, so keep the 'don't send' line in the prompt. Before you rely on it, check that Muse can reach the apps this recipe needs.
In ChatGPT Dots
Give your dot the prompt as an ongoing goal and set the schedule. Dots can work between chats and ask for approval before sensitive actions. OpenAI says background work counts toward your plan's allowance, so match the frequency to what you actually need.
Run it by hand once with harmless inputs before you schedule it. A test run does real work.
