I built a Morning Brew-style daily newsletter that writes itself with AI (now at 10,000+ daily readers)
(and I’m nuts for open-sourcing it)
The AI system behind @therecapai clones how a human writer would function, but each step is packaged into an agentic workstream.
The full automation handles:
→ Daily scrapping hundreds of reddit threads, hackernews, twitter posts, Google news API to build a massive data lake of 'daily AI news'
→ Dozens of custom prompts to pull the top daily stories from this data lake, write short breakdowns, & format the newsletter
→ Builds custom images based on each story with ChatGPT image generator
This was 5 MONTHS of iterating and fine-tuning prompts to get the output and content to an extremely high quality state (no AI slop)
and call me crazy, but I'm giving it away for free.
I'll DM you the full n8n template that you can copy/paste and fine-tune to your use-case as well as a full hour long video breakdown explaining the build.
Just Like & RT, follow me, and comment on this thread "NEWSLETTER" (must be following so I can dm you)
Also you can see the actual contents of the newsletter for yourself with the link below, proof of the quality that is possible with AI.
RIP legacy media companies 💀 AI is here.
Abigail Shrier: "The number one symptom of depression is rumination, pathologically obsessing over your pain. Getting out of your house and accomplishing anything is good for you, sitting around, talking and thinking about your problems is a bad habit."
I stole this idea and now use it with every single employee.
It’s the best illustration I’ve seen of teaching someone to be high agency.
It says there are 5 levels of work:
Level 1: “There is a problem.”
Level 2: “There is a problem, and I’ve found some causes.”
Level 3: “Here’s the problem, here are some possible causes, and here are some possible solutions.”
Level 4: “Here’s the problem, here’s what I think caused it, here are some possible solutions, and here’s the one I think we should pick.”
Level 5: “I identified a problem, figured out what caused it, researched how to fix it, and I fixed it. Just wanted to keep you in the loop.”
Using this framework, here’s what I say to every new employee…
You will live at Level 4 from Day 1 and as we build trust you will rise to Level 5.
Being high agency doesn’t just mean tackling problems in this way. It means your entire way of working should be oriented to being a Level 4+ employee.
Plz feel free to steal it as well.
And ty @stephsmithio for the framework!
