AI Daily Briefing
Every morning, a short digest of the previous day's news — filtered and summarized so I can read it in five minutes.
Why
- The unread count in my RSS reader had become threatening
- What I actually needed wasn't more sources, but an editor that filters the noise
- An excuse to treat an LLM as a personal assistant, not just a coding copilot
Pipeline
- GitHub Actions fires at 6:00 every morning
- Pulls the configured RSS / API sources
- Claude clusters topics, ranks by importance, writes the digest
- Renders to static HTML, deployed to GitHub Pages
- Webhook notifies me on failure
Lessons
- Prepping the input with plain code before handing to the LLM beats throwing everything at the model
- Prompt iteration matters more than I expected — a single word can change the whole tone
