AI Newsletter Digest Automation

Automatically consolidates AI-related newsletters into a single, deduplicated daily digest.

Schedule

• When: Daily at 7:30 AM (Australia/Perth timezone)
• Delivery: Via Telegram

What It Does

1. Scans unread emails from the last 24 hours
2. Identifies AI-related newsletters
3. Excludes: Notion, Platformer, WSJ, WIRED Daily (per Anthony's request)
4. Fetches full content from remaining newsletters
5. Uses LLM to analyze and create consolidated digest:
   • Top AI News (deduplicated across sources)
   • Product Launches
   • Research Highlights
   • Industry Trends
   • Notable Quotes

Files

• daily-digest.sh - Main script that fetches newsletters
• digest.py - Python analysis tool (alternative approach)
• list-newsletters.py - Quick check of what newsletters are in inbox

Manual Run

cd /home/openclaw/.openclaw/workspace/automations/ai-newsletter-digest
./daily-digest.sh

This outputs a file path. You can then ask me to analyze it.
