Steps
Choose three sources you trust
Ask which sources the people in your trade really read: an association, a trade magazine, an official body. Keep three, check that each one is still active and add them to a feed reader.
WeakGive me the best news sites for my industry.
BetterI run a small flower shop. List trade associations, trade magazines and official bodies that publish news for florists in [country], with their websites. Mark any you are not sure still publish.
Read a weekly digest, with links
Once a week, ask for a short digest of what is new in your three sources, each point with its link. Open the two that matter to you and note one line on what it means for your business.
ExampleWeek of [date]: 1. New rule on plant passports from [source, link]. Means for us: check labels on imported plants. 2. ...
Make one infographic a month
Pick the most useful point of the month for customers and turn it into a simple diagram. Credit the source on the image, and say that you made it with AI help.
Send a short monthly note to subscribers
Put the infographic and two or three lines in a short note to people who signed up to hear from you. No sending to people who did not ask, no claims beyond what the source says.
The full instruction
Copy it into any AI chat assistant and change only the first line.
Change only this line: INDUSTRY = [independent bike repair shops] You help me keep up with my INDUSTRY in 15 minutes a week. First ask me for my three sources (names and links). Then I paste this week's new items from them: titles, short text and links. Do three things: 1. A digest of at most 5 points, each with its link and one line on what it could mean for a business in my INDUSTRY. 2. Mark any point where the item itself is unclear or quotes another source I should open. 3. If it is the last week of the month, pick the one point that customers would find most useful and suggest a simple infographic: title, three to five boxes, the source line. Use only the items I pasted. Start with the digest. Paste your material below this line:
What you end up with
A fixed 15-minute weekly routine, a digest with links you can trust, one honest infographic a month and a short note to subscribers with every source credited.
Common mistakes
- Following twenty sources and reading none of them properly.
- Passing on a summary without opening the original item.
- Using an infographic without crediting the source.
Processes that need more than one tool
Each process below uses several tools, each for the job it does best. Any AI chat assistant works where one is named.
Choose three sources
Tools, in order: a feed reader → any AI chat assistant
- Ask the chat assistant which associations, trade magazines and official bodies publish news for your trade.
- Open each one, keep three that are still active and add them to a feed reader.
The prompt for this process
I run [type of business] in [country]. Suggest sources that publish news for my trade: associations, trade magazines and official bodies. For each, give the name, the website and what kind of news it publishes. Mark any you are not sure still publishes. Then suggest which three to keep if I only have 15 minutes a week, and why. Start with the list.
Weekly digest
Tools, in order: a search assistant → Apify → a shared document
- Once a week, ask the search assistant for what is new from your three sources, with links.
- If a source has no feed, let a scheduled Apify run collect the new titles and links from its public news page, within the site's terms.
- Paste the digest into a shared document under the date and add one line on what each point means for you.
The prompt for this process
Give me a weekly digest from only these three sources: [names and links]. Period: [dates] My business: [one sentence] At most 5 points. Each point: one sentence on what is new, the link to the original item and one line on what it could mean for a business like mine. If a source published nothing new, say so. Do not use other sources. Start with the most important point.
One infographic
Tools, in order: a diagram tool → Gamma
- Turn the most useful point of the month into a simple diagram with the source line on it.
- Place the diagram on a single Gamma page with two lines of text and the note that it was made with AI help.
The prompt for this process
Help me turn one industry update into a simple infographic for my customers. The update: [paste the point and its source link] My customers: [who they are] Write: a title of at most 8 words, three to five boxes of at most 12 words each, a source line that credits [source name], and a small line saying it was made with AI help. No people, no children, no animals in any image. Use only what the source says. Start with the title.
Monthly note to subscribers
Tools, in order: Gamma → a newsletter tool
- Export the infographic page from Gamma as an image.
- Write a short note in a newsletter tool and send it only to people who signed up to hear from you.
The prompt for this process
Write a short monthly note to my subscribers around one infographic. Infographic topic: [paste title and boxes] Source: [name and link] My business: [one sentence] At most 100 words: one line on why it matters to them, the infographic, a source credit with the link, and one plain line on how to reply or unsubscribe. No urgency, no claims beyond the source. Start with the subject line.

We recommend a specialised tool for each process rather than one tool that does everything. Tools that try to do everything rarely do any one job really well, because no single function gets perfected. It is the same in life, in business and in relationships: spread your attention over ten places and nothing gets done properly.
