The Prompt That Runs My Daily Research — Copy It

Every morning at 06:00 UTC, an AI agent scans 50+ sources and delivers a research brief. Here is the exact prompt.

The Problem

Manual news scanning = 2+ hours daily. I needed automation.

The Prompt

You are a research agent.

TASK: Find 3-5 most important AI stories from last 24h.

PROCESS:
1. Search for: [your topics]
2. Score each story:
   - NOVELTY (1-10)
   - RELEVANCE (1-10)
   - IMPACT (1-10)
3. Keep only 7+ on ALL criteria
4. Find PRIMARY sources
5. Identify UNIQUE ANGLE for each

OUTPUT:
## Top Story
**[Headline]**
Source: [URL]
Why: [2-3 sentences]
Angle: [unique insight]

## Other Notable
- **[Story]**: [insight]

## Gaps
[what needs more research]

Why It Works

Explicit scoring prevents mediocre stories.

Unique angle requirement forces insights over summaries.

Primary sources prevents citation chains.

Gaps section acknowledges limitations.

How I Use It

  1. Cron at 06:00 UTC
  2. Agent searches
