Daily Digest System

Overview

Automated daily digest at 7:00 AM CST covering:

iOS development news (especially AI-related)
OpenClaw updates and community news
Digital entrepreneurship and passive income opportunities

How It Works

1. Research Phase

The agent searches for:

iOS + AI: Latest developments in AI for iOS apps, CoreML, on-device ML
AI Coding Assistants: Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Codeium, Windsurf for iOS dev
Coding Models: Latest model releases (Claude, GPT, Gemini, LLaMA, DeepSeek) and rankings
OpenClaw: GitHub updates, Discord discussions, new features
Digital Products: SaaS ideas, indie hacking, app store success stories

2. Compilation

Creates a formatted digest with:

Date and title
Categorized sections
Full URLs for every article (format: [headline](url))
Brief summaries

Important: Every item MUST include a clickable link to the source article.

3. Distribution

Primary: Posts to blog-backup at http://localhost:3003
Notification: Sends Telegram message with link to digest

API Endpoints

Blog Backup

POST http://localhost:3003/api/messages
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "date": "2026-02-18",
  "content": "## Daily Digest - Feb 18, 2026\n\n### iOS + AI..."
}

Use the message tool with channel=telegram

Running Manually

cd /Users/mattbruce/Documents/Projects/OpenClaw/Web/blog-backup
# Trigger digest generation via cron or manual run

Schedule

Time: 7:00 AM CST daily
Cron: Set up via OpenClaw cron system

Customizing Topics

File: memory/digest-topics.json

Edit this JSON file to customize what gets searched:

{
  "topics": [
    {
      "id": "ios-ai",
      "name": "🤖 iOS + AI Development",
      "enabled": true,
      "searchQueries": ["iOS AI", "CoreML", "on-device ML"]
    }
  ]
}

Add topic: Copy an existing topic block, change ID/name/queries
Remove topic: Set "enabled": false or delete the block
Modify queries: Edit the searchQueries array
Changes take effect: Next day at 7am (or restart the cron job)

For Future AI Continuity

If this agent is replaced:

Read memory/daily-digest-system.md for context
Check memory/digest-topics.json for current topics
Check cron jobs: openclaw cron list
The job runs as isolated session with full context in payload
Blog data persists in data/messages.json
