Your daily digest is live. Every morning at 7am, you will get a Telegram message with 5-10 relevant stories from Hacker News, TechCrunch, and Twitter.

What makes it smart:

  • Deduplicates across sources (no reading the same story twice)
  • LLM scores relevance, so you only see AI and dev tools news
  • 14-day backtest shows a consistent 5.5% signal rate from 130+ daily items

Over time, I can learn which stories you actually click on and adjust the scoring. Want me to add more sources like Product Hunt or GitHub Trending?

AI-Powered Daily News Digest FAQ

How does MoClaw create a personalized daily news digest?

MoClaw scrapes your specified sources (news sites, RSS, forums, social media), deduplicates stories across sources, and uses an LLM to score each item for relevance to your topic. Only stories above your relevance threshold make it into the digest.

Can I customize which sources and topics my digest covers?

Yes. Tell MoClaw in plain English: 'Cover Hacker News, TechCrunch, and these 5 Twitter accounts, focusing on AI and developer tools.' You can add or remove sources anytime.

How is the daily digest delivered?

MoClaw delivers via Telegram, Slack, email, or webhook. You can also view digests directly in your MoClaw workspace. Most users prefer Telegram or Slack for quick morning reads.

How often does MoClaw update the news digest?

Default is daily at 7am, but you can set any schedule: twice a day, weekly roundup, or even hourly for fast-moving topics. Just describe the frequency in plain English.

Can MoClaw cover sources beyond English-language news?

Yes. MoClaw can scrape and summarize content in major languages, translating key points into English for your digest. Useful for tracking international markets or regulatory changes.

Is an AI news digest better than tools like Feedly or Morning Brew?

Feedly requires you to manually curate feeds, and Morning Brew is one-size-fits-all. MoClaw reads hundreds of sources, deduplicates, and uses LLM scoring to surface only what matters to your specific interests. No manual curation needed.

How much does a daily AI news digest cost with MoClaw?

MoClaw offers a free tier with one daily digest from up to 5 sources. Paid plans for unlimited sources and advanced features like learning from your reading habits start at $19/month.

Can I combine the news digest with other MoClaw automations?

Yes. For example, you can have breaking stories about your company trigger an immediate Slack alert, while everything else goes into the morning digest. MoClaw automations are composable.

Why an AI-Powered News Digest?

Manually scanning news sites wastes time. RSS readers dump everything without filtering. You need curation, not aggregation.

Describe Interests, Not Configure Feeds

Tell MoClaw 'AI and developer tools news' and it figures out which sources to scan, what is relevant, and what to skip. No feed URLs or folder management.

Learns What You Actually Read

Over time, MoClaw adjusts its relevance scoring based on which stories you open and which you skip. The digest gets sharper with every read.

Briefing, Not Firehose

5-10 items with one-line summaries, ranked by importance. Under 2 minutes to read. Not 200 unread items in a feed reader.
