Stop manually searching for and compiling daily news updates. Use this AI agent template to automatically search for the latest news articles relevant to your industry or topics of interest, summarize key findings, and deliver a structured daily briefing to your team.

How this template works

This agent runs on a daily schedule and compiles a structured news briefing. Here's the process:

The agent triggers automatically at your configured time each morning.
It searches for news articles published in the previous day relevant to your specified topics or industry.
The agent summarizes each article, extracting key information and the most important takeaways.
It compiles all summaries into a structured briefing document or Google Sheet.
The briefing is delivered to your team via email, Slack, or your preferred communication channel.

Once your Zaps are published, the workflow runs automatically - no manual steps needed.
