Draft your weekly newsletter from the week’s best sources

The week’s news, Hacker News stories, X posts and Reddit threads on your topic, the best ones read in full, turned into a newsletter draft with links.

Steps

At most, per call

A newsletter draft picks the week’s best stories on your topic and gives a short take on each. With Agentik, your AI collects news with Serper, stories from Hacker News, posts on X and threads from Reddit through ScrapeCreators, then reads the best stories in full with Firecrawl.

Step 1: Collect the week
Serper, Hacker News, the X API and ScrapeCreators collect the week’s news, stories, posts and Reddit threads on your topic.
Step 2: Read the best stories
Firecrawl reads the eight best stories in full, so each take is accurate.

Your agent does this part, with no tool call.

Give this to your agent

Use my connected Agentik MCP server for this job: weekly newsletter draft.

Draft this week’s newsletter. First ask me for my topic, my audience, my usual sections and two past issues for my voice.

Collect the week’s news with serper/news, Hacker News stories with hackernews/search, X posts with x/search-recent and Reddit threads with scrapecreators/get-v1-reddit-search. Read the eight best stories in full with firecrawl/scrape.

Finish with a draft in my sections and voice (headline, intro, five items with a two-line take and a link each, one thread worth reading, one thing to watch).

Before running anything, inspect each tool with inspect_tool, ask me for any input you don’t have instead of inventing it, and tell me the total price. Wait for my go. At the end, tell me what Agentik charged.
