Send Daily AI News Briefing

What It Does

Searches the internet every morning at 8:00 AM UTC and sends the top 5 AI and technology news stories directly to your Telegram chat. Each story includes the headline, publication source, a 2-sentence summary, and one actionable insight. No email client to open, no browser tabs.

Why It Matters

Most engineers and tech leads spend 15 to 30 minutes every morning reading news across various platforms just to stay informed. This workflow compresses that into a single 60-second read delivered directly to the app most people check first in the morning. The AI selects the highest-signal stories so you don't have to read through the noise.

How It Works

What You Get

1. Five top stories every morning covering AI agents, automation tools, developer productivity, and enterprise AI.
2. Headline, source, 2-sentence summary, and key insight for each story.
3. Clean plain-text format readable in under 60 seconds on mobile.
4. Delivered before your workday starts.

Who It Is For

1. Software engineers and developers who want to stay current on AI tools.
2. Tech leads and engineering managers who need a fast morning briefing.
3. Product managers and founders monitoring the AI landscape.
4. Anyone who checks Telegram before opening email in the morning.

Setup

1. Create a Telegram bot via @BotFather, give it a name, and copy the bot token.
2. Connect the Telegram connector in Needle using your bot token.
3. Publish the workflow, and your first news briefing will arrive tomorrow morning.

Customize It

1. Change delivery time by editing the cron schedule.
2. Focus on a specific domain by editing the AI Agent prompt (e.g., focus on cybersecurity or open source releases).
3. Skip weekends by changing the cron schedule to run Monday through Friday.
