Analyze AI/Tech News for Briefings

Collects and analyzes AI/tech news from multiple RSS sources with Claude-powered sentiment analysis, producing a structured briefing. It pulls from 4+ RSS feeds (TechCrunch, The Verge, Ars Technica, Hacker News), deduplicates overlapping articles across sources, ranks them by importance to the tech industry (product launches, technology trends, policy changes), and generates a formatted briefing card. For each article the output includes title, source, and publish date, a 2-3 sentence summary, industry tags (AI, Semiconductor, Cloud, etc.), a sentiment label (Positive/Negative/Neutral), an impact score from 1-5, and a one-sentence industry-perspective commentary.

Collect latest AI/tech news from RSS feeds.
Rank top 5 by importance to the tech industry.
For each: summary (2-3 sentences), sentiment (positive/negative/neutral),
impact score (1-5), industry tags, one-sentence commentary.
Output as a structured briefing card.

An optional setup clones and runs the underlying third-party Node project (tellmefrankie/news-engine) directly, requiring an ANTHROPIC_API_KEY and no other paid APIs for the free tier - reviewing and pinning that repository, and never exposing API keys to an unreviewed checkout, before running it.

Use it when preparing a concise AI or technology news briefing from multiple RSS sources, when ranked article summaries with sentiment, tags, and impact scoring are needed, when monitoring industry changes across product launches, policy moves, and infrastructure shifts, or when deduplicating overlapping coverage before writing a daily or weekly briefing. RSS feeds can lag, disappear, throttle, or duplicate syndicated coverage; the sentiment and impact scores are briefing aids, not authoritative market or policy analysis; and outputs should be cross-checked against original article sources before publication or investment use. The optional setup path runs third-party code and needs the same review before use.

Input is the configured set of RSS feeds, or a request to collect the latest AI/tech news, and, for the underlying engine, an ANTHROPIC_API_KEY. Output is a ranked, deduplicated briefing card listing the top articles with summary, sentiment, impact score, tags, and commentary per article.

Pulls from RSS feeds (TechCrunch, The Verge, Ars Technica, Hacker News) and, for the underlying engine, calls the Anthropic API for sentiment analysis. A separate paid tier of the same product adds investment-grade analysis (portfolio impact scoring, options-flow correlation, earnings-catalyst detection) and Telegram auto-delivery, per the source, beyond what this free/lite skill covers.

Anyone tracking AI/tech industry news who wants a fast, ranked, sentiment-tagged daily or weekly briefing instead of manually reading multiple RSS feeds.
