Research feed filter: 15 sources in, only new ideas out

A daily job pulls 15 curated sources, lets a model reject most items as irrelevant, checks the rest against existing notes, and saves short summaries for a weekly digest.

What the source did

  • Cron pulls arXiv, blogs and subreddits.
  • Claude filters by stated interests and rejects about 80%.
  • Deduplicates against existing notes.
  • Writes 2–3 sentence summaries to Notion and compiles a Sunday digest.
  • Heads-up: the post names nbot.AI for one layer, and a commenter called it an ad for nbot. Any document search works for that step.
“Rejects roughly 80% as not relevant enough.”— r/AI_Agents poster, Reddit

Copy the prompt

Ours Our version, based on what r/AI_Agents described. Not their wording. Fill in the [BRACKETS].

Daily: for each new item from [SOURCES], decide RELEVANT or NOT for these interests: [LIST]. Be strict. For relevant items, search my notes [NOTES LOCATION]. If I already have this idea, skip it. Otherwise save: title, link, 2–3 sentence summary, why it's new to me. Sunday: compile the week's saved items into a digest grouped by theme.

Approval rule

🛡
Read and save only; you decide what to act on.

Set it up

  1. List 10–15 sources and your interests.
  2. Run daily for a week and check rejected items once.
  3. Turn on the Sunday digest.

Common failures

⚠
  • Interests too broad means nothing gets filtered.

Variations

  • Grok Bot routine with web + X search.
