# Tech News Bulletin
Collect the latest technology and AI news from two sources:
1. **RSS feeds** — e.g., TechCrunch, Wired AI, Google AI Blog
2. **TLDR.tech AI Newsletter** — yesterday's edition, fetched and sanitized automatically
Merge both into a single deduplicated digest and send it to a list of email addresses.
## When to use (trigger phrases)
Use this skill immediately when the user asks any of:
- "tech news bulletin"
- "daily tech bulletin"
- "send tech bulletin"
- "run tech bulletin"
- "create tech bulletin"
## Workflow
1. **Fetch RSS feeds** from configured sources
2. **Fetch TLDR.tech AI newsletter** for the previous day (`https://tldr.tech/ai/YYYY-MM-DD`)
3. **Sanitize TLDR HTML** — extract article title, canonical link, and summary; strip sponsor blocks, navigation, footers
4. **Merge & deduplicate** all articles by URL
5. **Sort by date** (newest first) and limit to `MAX_ARTICLES`
6. **Summarize** each article via Ollama (falls back to the description snippet if unavailable)
7. **Build HTML digest** with per-article source badges (RSS source name vs. "TLDR AI")
8. **Send digest** to all configured email addresses via SMTP
## Installation
Install required Python packages:
```bash
pip install feedparser requests beautifulsoup4
```
Ensure environment variables are set:
```bash
export SMTP_EMAIL="your-email@example.com"
export SMTP_PASSWORD="your-app-password"
```
## Configuration
Edit `scripts/bulletin.py` to customize:
- `RSS_FEEDS` — list of RSS URL endpoints
- `EMAIL_ADDRESSES` — recipients for the bulletin
- `MAX_ARTICLES` — maximum articles in the combined digest (default 15)
- `TLDR_BASE_URL` — base URL for the TLDR newsletter (default `https://tldr.tech/ai/`)
The Ollama endpoint is `http://172.20.86.203:11434` with model `glm-4.7-flash:latest`.
## Usage
To run the bulletin now:
```bash
python3 /home/juniarto/.openclaw/workspace/skills/tech-news-bulletin/scripts/bulletin.py
```
Check the log output:
```bash
tail -f /tmp/openclaw-debug.log
```
Or let the skill handle it automatically via cron:
```bash
openclaw cron add --job='{
"name": "daily-tech-bulletin",
"schedule": { "kind": "every", "everyMs": 86400000, "anchorMs": 42000000 },
"payload": { "kind": "systemEvent", "text": "run-tech-news-bulletin" },
"sessionTarget": "isolated",
"enabled": true
}'
```
## Digest Format
**Subject:** Daily Tech & AI News Bulletin
**Body (HTML):**
- Header with date and source attribution
- Per article:
- Linked title
- Source badge (RSS feed name or "TLDR AI")
- 1–5 sentence summary
## Differences from `tech-news-digest`
| Feature | tech-news-digest | tech-news-bulletin |
|---|---|---|
| RSS feeds | ✅ | ✅ |
| TLDR.tech AI newsletter | ❌ | ✅ |
| Source badges in digest | ❌ | ✅ |
| HTML sanitizer (inline) | ❌ | ✅ |
| Combined deduplication | ❌ | ✅ |
## Rules
- Send emails via the SMTP credentials in the environment (`SMTP_EMAIL`, `SMTP_PASSWORD`)
- Keep each article summary to 1–5 sentences
- Strip sponsor articles from TLDR content
- Total digest should be readable within ~5 minutes
- TLDR date is always computed as `today - 1 day` at runtime, so no manual date config is needed
