Manually gathering, summarizing, and formatting news from multiple sources for a daily report is a time-consuming task. This new automated workflow leverages the power of RSS and AI to transform that process, allowing you to generate a structured news brief, complete with individual story summaries and a podcast-ready title, in just a few minutes.
The PTS Daily News shortcut is a powerful new automation that handles the end-to-end creation of a daily news report. It aggregates articles from your favorite news sources using their RSS feeds, filters them to show only today's stories, and lets you curate the final list. The shortcut then uses the Use Model action with ChatGPT to intelligently summarize each article and generate an overarching title and description for the episode, saving the final output to a new note.
You can fully customize the AI prompts to match your desired tone and format. The default prompts are designed for a direct, news-style delivery, but you can edit the text in the Use Model actions to be more casual, detailed, or formatted differently. You can also change the final action to save the output to Apple Notes, copy it to the clipboard, or send it to another app.
The Daily News Report automation transforms a time-intensive research and writing task into a streamlined process that takes just minutes. By combining RSS for content aggregation and AI for summarization and metadata creation, you can consistently produce high-quality daily news briefings for podcasts or newsletters with minimal manual effort. This workflow demonstrates how powerful automations can be when integrated with AI to boost your content creation productivity.
