Morning briefing to Telegram
Every weekday at 7 AM, an agent researches your topics on the web and posts a tight, skimmable briefing straight to your Telegram — so the day's news is in your pocket before you're at your desk.
Every weekday at 7 AM, research my topics on the web and post a short morning briefing to my Telegram. My topics: <list them — e.g. "AI infra funding, the EU AI Act, and anything about my competitor Acme">. 1. Use web search to find what's genuinely new in the last 24 hours on each topic — real developments, not evergreen explainers. Pick the 4–6 most important items. 2. Write a tight briefing: a one-line headline, then one bullet per item — what happened and why it matters in a sentence, each with its source link. No preamble, no filler. 3. Send it to my Telegram with send_message (it goes to the chat id saved on my Telegram connection). Keep it under 4096 characters (Telegram's limit); if there's more, send the top items and note how many you left out. Plain text is fine. If Telegram rejects the send because the chat can't be found, tell me the bot must be started first (message the bot, then it can reach me). If a topic has nothing new, say "nothing new" for it rather than padding with old news.
🗞 Morning briefing — Tue 30 Jun • AI infra: Acme raised a $40M Series B led by Foundry to build out inference capacity — their third round in 18 months. → techcrunch.com/… • EU AI Act: the Commission published draft guidance on GPAI transparency obligations, comment period open until 15 Jul. → digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/… • Competitor (Acme): shipped a Slack integration this morning; positioning it against our workflow builder. → acme.com/blog/… Nothing new on: on-device models.
The news you need is scattered across a dozen tabs you never get to before the day starts. This routine reads them for you: every weekday morning it researches your topics, distills what actually changed in the last day, and drops a clean briefing into your Telegram — so you're caught up on your phone before your first meeting.
How it works
- The agent uses built-in web search — no extra connector — to find what's new on each topic, then
- writes a short, sourced briefing and posts it to your chat with your Telegram bot.
- Every item carries its source link, so a headline that matters is one tap from the full story.
- The message is kept under Telegram's length limit, and topics with no real news are called out as
- quiet rather than padded — you can trust that a bullet means something happened.
Make it yours
- Swap the topics for whatever you track — your market, your customers, a technology, a city.
- Move the time or run it Sunday night for a week-ahead view instead of a daily one.
- Point it at a group or channel instead of your DMs to brief a whole team; add your bot to that
- chat and save that chat's id on the connection. Keep "Email me the result" on for a copy in
- your inbox too.
To receive the briefing, message your bot once so it's allowed to write to you (a bot can't start a conversation), then save your chat id on the Telegram connection — the routine only ever posts what these instructions tell it to.
