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. ``` ## You provide - Your topic - Your audience and sections - Two past issues ## What you get: a newsletter draft with links - The week’s best stories from four sources - A two-line take on each, with a link - A thread worth reading - A full draft in your voice ## How to draft a weekly newsletter in Claude or ChatGPT Prices are the most each call can reserve for this example: 3 news searches, 30 Hacker News stories, 50 X posts, one Reddit search, 8 stories read. ### 1.
