PERSONALIZED DAILY DIGESTS · Workflow idea

Help each reader catch up on the updates they care about.

Bring new items together by topic, prepare concise summaries, and match them to each reader’s stated interests. Keep previously shared items out of the digest, then give an authorized reviewer the complete content and recipient list to approve before anything is emailed.

An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps publishers share a timely, relevant roundup without asking each reader to search through every new item.

  1. Gather new items for the edition

    Collect eligible recent items and keep each original source and publication date available for checking.

  2. Prepare concise, source-linked summaries

    Write a short description of each item without adding claims that are not supported by its source.

  3. Match items to reader interests

    Use each subscriber’s stated topic preferences and exclude items they have already received.

  4. Review the full edition and recipients

    Check the wording, links, subscription status, and recipient list for every proposed digest.

  5. Approve before sending

    Require a person to approve the exact edition and its recipients before any newsletter is delivered.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A set of topic-matched newsletter drafts with source links, duplicate items removed, and recipients ready for review.

The handoff

A set of topic-matched newsletter drafts with source links, duplicate items removed, and recipients ready for review.

Keep in mind

A digest can include an irrelevant, misleading, or duplicate item, and a recipient list can be out of date. Check source links and summaries, honor subscription preferences, and require a person to approve the exact message and recipients before sending each edition.
