Staying informed shouldn't feel like a second job. Most news alerts provide a generic list of links that require you to scan, click, and filter for relevance. This workflow changes that by delivering a curated briefing that understands your specific business context. Instead of a standard feed, you get a thoughtful summary of how recent events actually impact your projects or industry. It saves you hours of manual research and ensures you never miss a pivotal development in your field.
How the automation works
The process begins by using the Firecrawl Application Programming Interface to scan the web for the latest articles, blog posts, and reports based on your specific keywords. Once the raw data is gathered, the OpenAI Responses and Anthropic Claude APIs analyze the content. They don't just summarise the text, they compare it against the context you provide, such as your job role or current company goals. Finally, the SendGrid Application Programming Interface formats this processed intelligence into a clean, easy-to-read email and sends it to your inbox every week.
