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.
Difficulty: Beginner | Time: 20 minutes
Let's start with the simplest possible briefing: a daily news summary pushed to Telegram.
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:
Sample output:
š Daily Tech Briefing ā 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]
...
Difficulty: Intermediate | Time: 30 minutes
Single-source briefings are useful but limited. Real intelligence comes from cross-referencing multiple sources.
Set up your agent to pull from:
When pulling from multiple sources, the same story often appears in several feeds. Configure your agent to:
"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.
Difficulty: Intermediate | Time: 30 minutes
Traders need a specific kind of briefing: structured, data-heavy, and actionable.
Configure your agent to generate this every morning before market open:

Push morning briefings to WhatsApp for immediate mobile access, and end-of-day summaries to Telegram or Discord for detailed review.
Difficulty: Intermediate | Time: 25 minutes
Not everything needs daily updates. Weekly digests work better for:
"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 ā comparing this week's developments to last week's, identifying emerging trends, and highlighting contradictions between different sources.
Difficulty: Advanced | Time: 45 minutes
For maximum control, define custom briefing templates that specify exactly what information goes where.
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"

format: "bullet_list"

filter: "triggered_only"

This level of customization ensures your briefings contain exactly the information you need, in exactly the format you want.
Difficulty: Advanced | Time: 30 minutes
Not all briefings should be scheduled. Some should fire based on conditions:
"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.
Briefing systems that run on schedule need reliable, always-on infrastructure. A missed morning briefing because your server was down defeats the entire purpose.
