OpenClaw Briefing Tutorial Collection: Automatic Generation and Information Push

Staying informed shouldn't be a full-time job. Whether you need daily market summaries, weekly industry roundups, or real-time news digests, OpenClaw can automatically generate structured briefings and push them to your preferred channels. This collection covers everything from basic setup to advanced multi-source briefing pipelines.

Tutorial 1: Your First Automated Briefing

Difficulty: Beginner | Time: 20 minutes

Let's start with the simplest possible briefing: a daily news summary pushed to Telegram.

Prerequisites

Configuration

Tell your OpenClaw agent what you want:

"Every morning at 7 AM, generate a briefing with the top 5 tech news stories from the past 24 hours. Send it to my Telegram."

The agent will:

  1. Pull news from configured sources at the scheduled time.
  2. Use the LLM to summarize each story into 2-3 sentences.
  3. Format the briefing with headlines, summaries, and source links.
  4. Push the formatted briefing to your Telegram chat.

Sample output:

šŸ“‹ Daily Tech Briefing — March 5, 2026

1. [NVIDIA Announces Next-Gen GPU Architecture]
   NVIDIA unveiled its next-generation GPU architecture at GTC, 
   promising 2x performance per watt. Enterprise AI workloads 
   expected to benefit most.

2. [OpenAI Releases GPT-5 API]
   ...

3. [EU AI Act Enforcement Begins]
   ...

Tutorial 2: Multi-Source Briefings

Difficulty: Intermediate | Time: 30 minutes

Single-source briefings are useful but limited. Real intelligence comes from cross-referencing multiple sources.

Configuring Multiple Data Sources

Set up your agent to pull from:

  • RSS feeds — Tech blogs, financial news, industry publications.
  • API sources — Market data providers, government data portals.
  • Web scraping — Specific pages that don't offer RSS or APIs.

Deduplication and Ranking

When pulling from multiple sources, the same story often appears in several feeds. Configure your agent to:

  • Deduplicate by matching headlines with similarity scoring.
  • Rank stories by how many sources covered them (more sources = more important).
  • Categorize into sections (Technology, Markets, Policy, etc.).

Example Configuration

"Generate a daily briefing from these sources: TechCrunch RSS, Hacker News top stories, and Reuters Technology. Deduplicate overlapping stories. Rank by cross-source frequency. Organize into sections. Push to Telegram at 7 AM and Discord at 8 AM."

The dual-channel push serves different purposes: Telegram for personal consumption, Discord for team discussion where colleagues can react and comment on specific stories.

Tutorial 3: Market Briefings for Traders

Difficulty: Intermediate | Time: 30 minutes

Traders need a specific kind of briefing: structured, data-heavy, and actionable.

Morning Market Briefing Template

Configure your agent to generate this every morning before market open:

šŸ“Š Pre-Market Briefing — [Date]

šŸŒ Global Markets:
- S&P 500 Futures: [value] ([change%])
- NASDAQ Futures: [value] ([change%])
- European Markets: [summary]
- Asian Markets: [summary]

šŸ“° Key Events Today:
- [Earnings reports due]
- [Economic data releases]
- [Fed/central bank events]

šŸ“ˆ Watchlist Updates:
- [Ticker]: [overnight news or pre-market movement]
- [Ticker]: [approaching key technical level]

āš ļø Risk Alerts:
- [VIX level and trend]
- [Any unusual market conditions]

End-of-Day Summary

Complement the morning briefing with a closing summary:

šŸ“Š Market Close Summary — [Date]

šŸ“ˆ Index Performance:
- S&P 500: [close] ([change%])
- NASDAQ: [close] ([change%])

šŸ† Top Movers (Watchlist):
- [Best performer]: +X%
- [Worst performer]: -X%

šŸ“‹ Signal Activity:
- Signals generated today: [count]
- Signals acted upon: [count]

šŸ“… Tomorrow's Calendar:
- [Key events for next trading day]

Push morning briefings to WhatsApp for immediate mobile access, and end-of-day summaries to Telegram or Discord for detailed review.

Tutorial 4: Weekly Digest Briefings

Difficulty: Intermediate | Time: 25 minutes

Not everything needs daily updates. Weekly digests work better for:

  • Industry trend analysis.
  • Portfolio performance reviews.
  • Competitor monitoring.
  • Research paper summaries.

Configuration

"Every Sunday at 6 PM, generate a weekly digest covering: (1) Top 10 stories from my configured sources, ranked by importance, (2) Summary of key market movements, (3) Any significant changes in my watchlist stocks' fundamentals. Format as a structured report with sections and bullet points."

The weekly format allows the LLM to provide deeper analysis rather than just headlines — comparing this week's developments to last week's, identifying emerging trends, and highlighting contradictions between different sources.

Tutorial 5: Custom Briefing Templates

Difficulty: Advanced | Time: 45 minutes

For maximum control, define custom briefing templates that specify exactly what information goes where.

Template Structure

briefing:
  name: "Executive Daily Brief"
  schedule: "0 7 * * 1-5"  # Weekdays at 7 AM
  channels:
    - telegram
    - discord
  sections:
    - name: "Market Overview"
      sources: ["market_data_skill"]
      format: "table"
      fields: ["index", "close", "change_pct"]
    - name: "Top News"
      sources: ["news_aggregation_skill"]
      format: "bullet_list"
      max_items: 5
      summarize: true
    - name: "Watchlist Alerts"
      sources: ["stock_screening_skill"]
      format: "alert_cards"
      filter: "triggered_only"
    - name: "Calendar"
      sources: ["calendar_skill"]
      format: "timeline"
      lookahead_days: 1

This level of customization ensures your briefings contain exactly the information you need, in exactly the format you want.

Tutorial 6: Conditional Briefings and Real-Time Alerts

Difficulty: Advanced | Time: 30 minutes

Not all briefings should be scheduled. Some should fire based on conditions:

  • Breaking news alert — Push immediately when a high-impact story breaks.
  • Volatility spike alert — Send a special briefing when VIX exceeds a threshold.
  • Earnings surprise alert — Generate an instant analysis when a watchlist company reports earnings that deviate significantly from estimates.

Configuration

"Monitor news feeds continuously. If a story mentions any of my watchlist stocks AND contains keywords like 'acquisition', 'FDA approval', 'earnings miss', or 'CEO resignation', immediately generate a focused briefing on that story and push to WhatsApp."

This transforms your briefing system from a scheduled report into a real-time intelligence network.

Infrastructure Considerations

Briefing systems that run on schedule need reliable, always-on infrastructure. A missed morning briefing because your server was down defeats the entire purpose.

Tencent Cloud Lighthouse is the natural choice:

  • Guaranteed uptime — Your 7 AM briefing runs at 7 AM, every single day.
  • Sufficient compute — LLM-powered summarization needs consistent CPU and memory availability.
  • Bundled bandwidth — News fetching, API calls, and webhook pushes all consume bandwidth. Lighthouse includes it in the price.

The Tencent Cloud Lighthouse Special Offer provides instances that handle even complex multi-source briefing pipelines without breaking a sweat — or your budget.

Tips for Better Briefings

  • Less is more. A 5-item briefing that's read beats a 50-item briefing that's ignored.
  • Consistency matters. Same time, same format, every day. Build the habit.
  • Iterate on format. After a week, review what you actually read and what you skip. Cut the skipped sections.
  • Use different channels for different urgency levels. Scheduled briefings to Telegram, breaking alerts to WhatsApp.

Your information diet shapes your decisions. Curate it intentionally with OpenClaw, and you'll spend less time searching for information and more time acting on it. If you haven't set up your infrastructure yet, the Tencent Cloud Lighthouse Special Offer is the fastest way to get a reliable, always-on server for your briefing pipeline.
