What is News Briefing?
News Briefing is a powerful tool designed to turn your AI agent into a sophisticated intelligence officer. By utilizing Openclaw Skills, this tool allows users to input any topic and receive an instant, real-time web search result summarized in clear Chinese. Unlike traditional news apps that push static content, this skill enables active, topic-based discovery paired with AI-generated deep insights that explain the 'why' behind the news.
The skill excels at transforming raw data into actionable intelligence by providing background context, underlying logic, and potential industry impacts. It is specifically optimized for mobile consumption, delivering neatly collapsed Feishu (Lark) cards that keep your workspace organized while keeping you informed.
News Briefing Use Cases
- Tracking daily AI and technology breakthroughs for developers and researchers.
- Monitoring specific sports personalities or team updates in real-time.
- Gathering political and financial intelligence for executive decision-making.
- Keeping up with niche industry movements like cloud computing or trade policies.
- Automating early morning news briefings for team synchronization.
How News Briefing Works
- The user triggers the skill using natural language phrases like 'Check news on AI' or via a scheduled CLI command.
- The skill initiates a real-time web search using the Perplexity sonar API to gather the latest information.
- An LLM processes the search results to generate a concise Chinese summary and deep insights (background, logic, impact, and signals).
- The content is formatted into a high-quality Feishu message card with interactive, collapsible elements.
- The final briefing is pushed to the user's Feishu client, providing a seamless information flow without switching apps.
