What This Skill Does

The daily-ai-news skill is a powerful, automated intelligence aggregator designed specifically for the rapidly evolving field of Artificial Intelligence. By integrating multiple data streams, it provides a unified view of the current AI landscape, stripping away the noise of daily information overload. The skill aggregates data from HackerNews, GitHub Trending, ArXiv research repositories, and live web search results via Tavily or Brave Search. It intelligently filters for AI, ML, LLM, and GPT-related content, ensuring that the information presented is relevant to technical users and enthusiasts alike. With built-in support for cron-based automation, it effectively turns your OpenClaw environment into a proactive news desk that delivers daily digests directly to your preferred communication channels.

Installation

To install this skill, use the ClawHub command-line tool. Open your terminal and execute: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/chyher/irene-ai-news. After installation, ensure you have a search provider configured. For the best experience, we recommend using Tavily. Install the necessary dependency with clawhub install openclaw-tavily-search, register for a free account at https://tavily.com/, and set your TAVILY_API_KEY environment variable in your ~/.openclaw/.env file. If you prefer using Brave Search, you can configure it via the openclaw configure --section web command. Finally, verify the installation by running the script manually from your workspace directory: python3 ~/.openclaw/workspace/data/skills/daily-ai-news/scripts/ai_news.py.

Use Cases

• Research Vigilance: Stay at the forefront of AI theory by automatically pulling daily summaries of new research papers published on ArXiv without needing to manually refresh their feed.
• Open Source Tracking: Discover emerging AI tools and libraries by monitoring the daily GitHub Trending repository list specifically for AI-categorized projects.
• Breaking News Monitoring: Use the real-time web search capabilities to stay updated on sudden industry developments, such as major model releases or regulatory announcements.
• Automated Reporting: Configure the skill as a Cron job to receive a consolidated briefing in your team's communication channels (like Feishu) every morning at 9:00 AM.

Example Prompts

• "今天有什么 AI 新闻？帮我总结一下。"
• "显示今日最新的 AI 技术进展与 GitHub 热点。"
• "搜索一下关于 OpenAI 的最新消息，看看最近有没有大动作。"

Tips & Limitations

For optimal results, ensure your configuration file (scripts/ai_news.py) matches your specific interest areas by updating the categories list. If you find the output volume too high, reduce the max_hackernews or max_web_search settings to keep the digests concise. Note that this skill requires an active internet connection to function, and while it is designed to be low-latency, some web search providers may have rate limits depending on your subscription tier. Always review the terminal output if the script fails to fetch data, as API keys are the most common source of configuration issues.
