Summarize recent company news
This automation streamlines competitive and market intelligence by finding recent news about a specific company, using AI to generate a concise summary, and delivering the report directly to your inbox.
This automation provides a powerful, hands-free way to stay informed about any company you choose. Here's how it works:
- Search: You provide a company name. The automation then searches the web for the five most recent news articles about that company.
- Summarize: An advanced AI reads and analyzes the content of the found articles. It then composes a professional, easy-to-read summary of the key news and developments, keeping it under 500 words.
- Deliver: Finally, the automation drafts an email containing the AI-generated summary, along with a clearly formatted list of links to the original source articles. This email is sent to the recipient address you specify, delivering a complete news brief directly to their inbox.
Usage Ideas
- Competitive Intelligence: Schedule daily or weekly runs to automatically track what your competitors are doing.
- Investment Research: Monitor companies in your portfolio or on your watchlist for important news and events.
- Sales & Account Management: Stay up-to-date on your key clients' activities to find relevant conversation starters and build stronger relationships.
- Public Relations: Keep tabs on your own company's media mentions or track the impact of a recent press release.
- Personalized News Brief: Create a daily digest on a set of companies or topics that are important to you.
Customization Ideas
This template is a powerful starting point that you can easily adapt to your specific needs. You'll have the flexibility to:
- Change the Notification Channel: Instead of an email via Google Mail, you can have the summary sent to a Slack channel, Microsoft Teams, or a different email provider.
- Adjust the Scope: You can easily change the number of articles the automation pulls for its summary, whether you want a quick update from 3 articles or a more comprehensive brief from 10.
- Customize the AI Summary: You can instruct the AI to change the tone (e.g., from professional to casual) or the length of the summary. You could even ask for the output in a different format, like bullet points.
- Tailor the Output: The final email's subject line and body format can be modified to fit your personal or company branding.
