AI-Bear Newsletter

Overview

Transforms raw Notion drafts into publication-ready LinkedIn/Substack articles following the AI-Bear Single-Article Newsletter Framework. One issue = one article. No invention, no expansion beyond the source.

Workflow

1. Fetch Draft from Notion

Fetch the draft page by publishing date from the Drafts database.

• Drafts database ID: fdf75999-5031-487b-877c-196d21e7061b
• URL: https://www.notion.so/98fcc07dffeb40adb0d563f7fabb9c52

2. Research and Verify

Search the web for each topic. Gather:

• Accurate numbers, dates, names
• 2-4 primary source URLs (official announcements, research papers, reliable reporting)
• 2-3 official/open-access images with source attribution

3. Write Article

Write immediately — no review step in chat. Follow the framework below exactly.

4. Publish to Scheduled Database

Step 4a: Create new page in Scheduled database

• Parent data source ID: 248aa851-3792-43a6-a065-06ebb14ec81a
• URL: https://www.notion.so/bf352fce2bfd401c83af25830273c75f
• Set: Meeting name = article headline, Platform = ["LinkedIn/Substack"], Date for publishing = same date as draft

Step 4b: Add full article content to the new page (body + Midjourney prompts + reference images)

Step 4c: Leave original draft untouched in Drafts database

5. Report

Reply: "Done! Article ready in Scheduled at [URL]. Ready for your review."

Article Structure

1. Headline

• 2-3 emojis maximum — must reflect topic category, no decorative randomness
• Category examples: 🚀 product launch · 🧠 model capability · 💰 funding · 🏛️ regulation · 👔 leadership · ⚠️ risk

2. Date + Teaser Block

[Date]. Inside this issue:

- 3-4 sharp bullets
- Each previews a core development
- No emojis, no fluff, no vague phrasing

3. Three Fixed Sections

Section emojis are permanent — never change them.

✍️ Essentials

Factual core. Stay close to the source. Tighten language. No opinions, no invented data, no speculation unless clearly labelled. Every key claim links to its primary source inline. Link text = entity or document name, not "click here". Link to exact primary sources — never homepages. All abbreviations explained on first use. Short, direct sentences.

🐻 Bear's take

Practical interpretation. Answers: what does this mean? Focused on founders, operators, marketers. Analytical, calm, sharp. No philosophy, no grand predictions, no political/religious/sexual framing.

🚨 Bear in mind

Exposure and risk mapping. Must cover: who is exposed, who benefits, what changes operationally, what action to consider. No fear tactics, no drama.

4. Visuals

Two Midjourney prompts per article. Never change the baseline style:

• Editorial flat vector illustration
• AI-Bear mascot present
• White background
• Brand palette: Teal #00e0c6 · Violet #6c63ff · Navy #0a1e3f
• 16:9, --v 6, --q 2, no text, no logos

Variant 1 — Mascot focus: Close-up AI-Bear + one key symbolic prop Variant 2 — Environment focus: AI-Bear in contextual scene + 2-3 minimal icons

Prompt template:

/imagine editorial-style flat vector illustration of the ai bear mascot, [scene context], [2-3 visual props], simple composition, white background, brand colors teal #00e0c6, violet #6c63ff, navy #0a1e3f --no text --ar 16:9 --v 6 --q 2

5. Reference Images

2-3 images per article. Official or open-access sources only (company blogs, research pages, arXiv, GitHub, product pages). Each image followed by a source attribution line.

Source: [Source name](source URL)
