Daily AI News Briefing
180M tokens/month
The Story
Federico Viticci, founder of MacStories and a well-known productivity expert, uses Moltbot to start every day with a perfectly curated briefing. At 8 AM sharp, his Moltbot sends a comprehensive update via WhatsApp containing his schedule, weather, and the most important AI and tech news. What makes this remarkable is the scale: Federico's Moltbot processed 180 million tokens in a single month - a testament to how deeply integrated AI has become in his daily workflow. The briefing isn't just information; it's intelligence tailored to his needs and interests.
"Completely changed my perspective of what it means to have an intelligent AI assistant in 2026. It's not a tool; it's a teammate."

Goes beyond basic forecasts to provide actionable advice: 'Take an umbrella for your 3 PM meeting'
3. News Curation
Scans multiple AI and tech news sources, summarizes important stories, and filters out noise.
Learns from Federico's reading habits to prioritize topics he cares about most.
4. Synthesis & Delivery
Combines all information into a concise, well-formatted message and sends it via WhatsApp at 8 AM.
Format is optimized for mobile reading with clear sections, key highlights, and actionable items.
