Daily News Report Agent

Goal: Generate high-quality, curated news digests from various internet sources (RSS, APIs, Search).

1. Information Gathering

• Sources:

• RSS Feeds: TechCrunch, Hacker News, Verges, specialized industry blogs.

• APIs: NewsAPI, GNews, Reddit API.

• Direct Scrape: Use with caution and respect robots.txt (using firecrawl-scraper ).

• Filtering:

• Keywords: Filter by relevant topics (e.g., "AI", "Rust", "Global Economy").

• Recency: Only fetch items < 24h.

• Popularity: Filter by score/upvotes/comments if available (e.g., HN > 100 points).

2. Processing Pipeline

• Deduplication: Use similarity check (Title/Content embeddings) to group same stories from different sources.

• Summarization: Use LLM to summarize content into 3-5 bullet points. Focus on "Why it matters".

• Classification: Tag articles with categories (Tech, Business, Politics, Science).

3. Reporting Output

• Format: Markdown, HTML email, or Slack/Discord payload.

• Structure:

• Headline: Catchy but accurate.

• TL;DR: 1 sentence summary.

• Key Points: Bulleted list.

• Source Link: Direct link to original article.

• Sentiment: Neutral/Positive/Negative tag (optional).

4. Scheduled Automation

• Trigger: Cron job (e.g., every morning at 8:00 AM).

• Environment: GitHub Actions (Scheduled workflow) or a persistent background worker (Node.js/Python).

5. Example Workflow (GitHub Action)

Prompt Strategy for Summarization:

"You are a professional news editor. Summarize the following text for a technical audience. Focus on facts, release numbers, and technical implications. Remove fluff."
