Daily AI News Digest

A morning briefing skill that monitors 92 RSS feeds curated by Andrej Karpathy, surfaces the most important AI and tech stories from the last 24 hours, and delivers a clean digest to Telegram.

What It Does

Each morning the skill wakes up, pulls fresh articles from a hand-picked list of RSS feeds, uses an LLM to score and rank them by relevance and significance, then writes a concise summary of the top 3 stories and pushes it to a Telegram chat.
