Like many others, I’ve been deep inside AI world for the past several months. The launch of Claude Cowork, in particular, alongside the proliferation of MCP servers has opened up all kinds of potential. I hope to share some of these ideas in the future.
For now, here’s a simple daily news roundup that I find helpful: the AI Daily Brief.
I pay and subscribe to a few dozens newsletters – most on Substack – and subscribe to even more RSS feeds that focus on what’s happening in AI. The problem: I don’t have enough time, every day, to go through all that material in addition to all the work-related stuff I need to read. So I created an agent to compile a summary of the most important items.
To do so, I gave it access to my email and Substack subscriptions, as well as my folder of RSS feeds on Inoreader. So I’ve already curated the sources — AI is taking that and compiling a summary of the most important developments. I don’t want to miss anything, so I also asked the agent to do a general news search. Lastly, I provided it with a selection of tools I use (software like Obsidian, DEVONthink, and Craft) and asked it to share any new AI-related news or workflows that have emerged using these tools.
The result is an email that I get every morning, and a corresponding web page that I’m now sharing with the world here. It will publish at 9am daily Hong Kong time.
As always, I’m open to thoughts and suggestions to make this even better. So drop me a line, and let me know what you think.
