email-news-digest

What This Skill Does

The email-news-digest skill acts as an automated research and synthesis assistant for your inbox. It bridges the gap between raw email influx and actionable intelligence by filtering specific threads based on custom queries, distilling them into high-level summaries using structured summarization logic, and augmenting these insights with AI-generated visual elements. The final output is delivered as a professional, formatted HTML report, ensuring that recipients receive visually engaging and logically organized content. By automating the extraction, synthesis, and dissemination phases, this tool significantly reduces the overhead associated with daily information management.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your environment, utilize the OpenClaw management utility via the command line: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/matthewxfz3/email-news-digest Ensure that your OpenClaw environment is properly authenticated with your email provider and that the required dependencies for image generation are available, as this skill relies on the 'nano-banana-pro' component for visual assets.

Use Cases

• Daily Executive Briefings: Automatically aggregate newsletters or industry updates and deliver a polished digest to your team every morning.
• Project Tracking: Configure the skill to track threads tagged with specific project IDs to generate periodic status reports for stakeholders.
• Academic or Research Monitoring: Filter emails from specific mailing lists to compile a condensed version of weekly findings, complete with thematic visual summaries.
• Sales & Market Intel: Monitor competitor activity notifications and generate high-level summaries for your sales department to keep them informed without manual email review.

Example Prompts

• "OpenClaw, run the email-news-digest for my 'project-alpha' updates from the last 24 hours and send it to the team."
• "Create a news digest based on 'tech-trends' emails received in the last 3 days. Use a futuristic digital art style for the header image."
• "Summarize the latest emails matching 'daily-brief' and email the report to my primary account with an image representing a professional office environment."

Tips & Limitations

To maximize effectiveness, refine your email queries using Gmail's advanced search operators (e.g., 'label:important', 'from:[email protected]'). Note that while the tool supports sophisticated formatting, the summarization engine currently utilizes placeholders; future iterations will support full LLM-driven deep analysis. Ensure your 'image-prompt' is highly descriptive to achieve optimal aesthetic results from the generation backend. Users should also ensure that their 'gog gmail' service is correctly configured to prevent authorization errors during the dispatch phase.
