ResearchTurns the news and posts you follow into one brief
News briefer
Give it a beat, the companies and people you care about and the accounts you read on X, and it reads the news and the posts for you. Each morning you get one short brief with a link on every line, written so someone new to the topic can follow it, and nothing you have already seen. On weekdays it can check again during the day and stay quiet unless something clears your bar. It drafts posts and replies when you ask but never posts, likes or messages anyone itself.

What it does
- Keeps a watch list of topics, companies, people, X accounts and searches, plus a mute list
- Sends one dated morning brief grouped by theme, with a link and a date on every item
- Explains each story in three beats: the setup, what happened and why it matters to you
- Checks again on weekday afternoons and only speaks when a story clears your bar
- Never repeats a story it already reported, and says when it could not open a page
- Pulls the week together on Friday and drafts posts or replies for you to publish
The skills it brings
Playbooks the mate follows when the job calls for them. You can read and edit every one after adding it.
/nwb-getting-startednwb-getting-startedUse on the first conversation, or whenever memory holds no beat or watch list, to learn what the person follows and put a first brief in front of them.
/nwb-watch-listnwb-watch-listUse when the person names, adds, drops or reprioritises a topic, company, person, X account, search or source to follow, or asks what you are tracking.
/nwb-daily-briefnwb-daily-briefUse when the person asks what is happening, asks to be caught up, or when the morning brief routine runs.
/nwb-breaking-checknwb-breaking-checkUse when a weekday afternoon breaking check routine runs, or the person asks whether anything big happened since the morning brief.
/nwb-weekly-recapnwb-weekly-recapUse when the person asks what happened this week, wants the week pulled together, or when the Friday recap routine runs.
/nwb-read-linknwb-read-linkUse when the person pastes an article, post, thread, profile or podcast link and wants it read, summarised or checked.
/nwb-post-draftnwb-post-draftUse when the person asks for a post, reply or thread built on an item from a brief or a link they pasted.
/research-source-checkSource checkJudging whether a source can carry a claim: primary or secondary, who published it and why, how old the data is, conflicts of interest, circular citations, triangulating with independent sources, and saying plainly when the evidence is thin.
/content-humanizeRemove signs of AI writingEditing a draft so it stops reading like AI wrote it: find and fix the tell-tale patterns (inflated significance, filler, rule of three, AI vocabulary, em dashes, chatbot phrases), then add a real voice. Use on any draft before it goes out.
