Synopsis
Tired of missing key AI developments, Parminder Singh created AI Radar, a daily digest delivered to his notes app. By identifying trusted sources, using an agentic platform for browsing and scheduling, and crafting precise prompts, he receives curated AI news.Every morning, I used to open several tabs, skim newsletters, and still wonder: have I missed something important in the world of AI? So, I built AI Radar: an agent which curates an AI digest for me in my Notes app at 7am daily. Here’s how:
1. Identify your sources: Before touching any tool, prepare a list of 7-12 publications—newsletters, blogs, news outlets—that cover your field. This is your agent’s reading list.
2. Pick an agentic platform that can browse, schedule and write. You need three capabilities: the ability to visit actual web pages (not just search), a scheduler to run daily without your intervention, and an integration to deliver the output wherever you already work.
3. Write a precise prompt. “Find me AI news” produces garbage. Instead, specify a time window (last 72 hours), instruct the agent to fetch each article’s actual page to verify the publish date (search results surface stale content), name the sections you want, and cap each at three items. Add one small touch that transforms passive reading into active thinking: end every digest with three follow-up questions worth investigating.
4. Structure the output like an editor. Five sections work well for me: new tools and launches, practical use cases, industry news, enterprise adoption, and one opinion piece worth your time. On Sundays, my agent adds a longer deep-read on an emerging topic.
5.Then extend it. Once the digest runs reliably, the same agent can draft a response to a breaking story, write a social post, or start an article —all before breakfast.
The author is the CEO of Reliance Enterprise Intelligence (REIL) and cofounder of two AI ventures—ClayboxAI and Kampd.
