Send Friday Week-Ahead Preview
Every Friday, researches upcoming tech events, earnings reports, economic data, and AI launches, then delivers a curated week-ahead preview to Telegram.
What It Does
Every Friday at 14:00 UTC, this workflow searches for everything significant happening in tech, markets, and business the following week. It delivers a structured Telegram digest covering four tracks: tech events, earnings calendar, economic data releases, and AI/product launches. It closes with the single most important thing to watch next week — arriving before the weekend so you can start Monday already informed.
Why It Matters
Monday morning catch-up is a productivity tax. Spending 30–60 minutes on Sunday or Monday morning scanning what's coming next week is wasted time. This workflow does that research on Friday before you log off, so you walk into Monday with context already loaded. One Telegram read over Friday lunch replaces Sunday evening news browsing.
How It Works
- Scheduled Trigger — Fires every Friday at 14:00 UTC (cron:
0 14 * * 5). - AI Agent — Searches the web for the coming week's tech conferences and keynotes, major S&P 500 earnings with consensus estimates, economic data releases (CPI, Fed, jobs, PMI), and pre-announced AI model releases or product launches.
- Telegram Node — Delivers the structured plain-text preview directly to your Telegram chat.
| Node | Role |
|---|---|
| Scheduled Trigger | Runs every Friday at 14:00 UTC |
| AI Agent | Researches and compiles the week-ahead digest |
