AI Newsletter Digest Template

This is the proper format for AI newsletter digests, matching the quality of the OpenClaw Daily Digest.

Required Elements

Header

  • Date (formatted nicely)
  • Count of newsletters analyzed
  • List of sources

Each Story Should Include:

  1. Headline — Clear, descriptive title
  2. Source — Which newsletter it came from
  3. What happened — 2-3 sentences summarizing the key news
  4. Why it matters — Context on significance
  5. Links — ALL clickable URLs to read more (CRITICAL - always include these!)

Format Example:

🤖 AI NEWSLETTER DIGEST — Wednesday, March 4, 2026
Your synthesized briefing from 7 AI newsletters

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
📊 TODAY'S OVERVIEW
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
• 7 Newsletters Analyzed
• 3 Major Stories: Pentagon/AI politics, Copyright law, Model releases
• 4 Sources: The Rundown AI, AI Secret, AI Valley, The Deep View

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🔥 TOP STORIES
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

📌 OpenAI's Pentagon Deal Backlash
   Source: The Rundown AI, AI Valley, The Deep View
   
   What happened: [2-3 sentence summary of the news]
   
   Why it matters: [Context on significance]
   
   Link: [URL]

What NOT to do (Current broken format):

Just list newsletter names and headlines No summaries or context No links to click No "why it matters" explanations

Implementation Notes

The current digest uses:

  • parse-emails.py — Extracts content from emails
  • format-digest.py — Formats into readable digest

Future enhancement: Use LLM to:

  1. Synthesize similar stories from multiple sources
  2. Extract key quotes
  3. Generate "why it matters" context
  4. Group related stories together
