How to Build an AI Newsletter Agent
Learn how to automate the research, summarization, and drafting of your weekly newsletter using AI.
Newsletters are time-consuming to produce, but AI agents can handle 90% of the manual labor. You can build an autonomous system that finds news and writes your first draft.
Research via Perplexity or Tavily
Set up an agent that uses a search tool (like Tavily) to scan the web for specific keywords every 24 hours. The agent can evaluate the importance of each link, filter out the noise, and store the most relevant stories in a local database like DuckDB or LanceDB.
Drafting and Formatting
Use a creative writing model (like Claude 3.5 Sonnet) to synthesize the gathered information into your specific brand voice. The agent can generate catchy headlines, write concise summaries, and format the entire piece in Markdown or HTML, ready to be pushed to your email platform.
