What is AI Daily News Skill?
The AI Daily News skill is a powerful utility designed for Openclaw Skills users who need to stay informed about the rapidly evolving artificial intelligence landscape. By connecting directly to the smol.ai RSS feed, it allows users to query industry updates using natural language dates like yesterday or specific YYYY-MM-DD formats. This integration ensures that your AI coding agent or workspace remains updated with the latest technological shifts without requiring manual browsing.
Built for speed and technical accuracy, this skill bridges the gap between raw RSS data and actionable intelligence. It provides a structured way to consume daily tech summaries, making it an essential component of the Openclaw Skills ecosystem for developers and researchers alike.
AI Daily News Skill Use Cases
- Stay updated on daily AI industry breakthroughs and headlines through Openclaw Skills.
- Retrieve historical AI news for specific dates to track industry trends and model releases.
- Automate the collection of tech updates within a developer workflow or stand-up report.
- Identify available news date ranges when specific data for a requested day is missing.
How AI Daily News Skill Works
- The Openclaw Skills agent parses the user's date-related request, such as today, yesterday, or a specific calendar date.
- The system executes a Python-based fetcher to pull data from the configured smol.ai RSS feed.
- The skill verifies content availability for the requested timeframe.
- It formats the retrieved news into a clean, Markdown-structured report for immediate display.
AI Daily News Skill Setup
To integrate this capability into your Openclaw Skills environment, ensure you have the necessary Python dependencies installed:
pip install feedparser requests
The core script is located at skills/ai-daily/scripts/fetch_news.py. No API keys are required as it uses public RSS feeds, though you can configure the RSS_URL variable to point to custom sources if necessary.

The skill organizes its data using a strict temporal taxonomy. The following schema defines how Openclaw Skills handles the news metadata:

| Source | The origin of the news (defaults to smol.ai) | URL/String |
