4 Ways to Customize Your Weekly News Brief
Yes, you can create your personal weekly brief in just a few minutes, but taking a little more time to get it right, and iterating on it as you go, can make it much more valuable.
Here are four ways to get more out of your weekly brief.
1. Be Specific With Your Prompts
This is the single best way to get the news you're looking for.
- Vague: "Technology news"
- Specific: "Enterprise AI adoption in Fortune 500 companies, focusing on ROI data and implementation challenges"
The vague prompt gives you everything. The specific prompt gives you exactly what you need. Write 2-3 sentences describing what you actually want. Be direct. Our AI responds well to specificity.
2. Use Sections, Story Counts, and Timing to Fit Your Needs
Your Personal Brief offers a lot of flexibility. Take advantage of it. Break your news into sections. Pick the right number of stories per section. Choose the weekly delivery time that works best for you. Your brief is generated fresh at delivery time, so you always get recent stories when it arrives.
3. Ask Us for Help
Reach out to us for help. We're experts in building personalized briefs. If you're not sure what to ask for, or if you're struggling to get the right content, we're here to help.
We also have access to tools that aren't available to everyone. We can build custom briefs for your sales team, based on your sales targets. We can build a version for your executive team, board of directors, or any other team or need you have.
4. Iterate. Your First Brief Is a Starting Point.
After a few days of reading, you'll notice patterns. Some sections are consistently valuable. Others aren't pulling their weight. Pay attention.
- Sections that aren't useful? Remove them or rewrite the prompts.
- Topics you keep Googling separately? Add a prompt for them.
- Too many stories about one thing? Reduce the count or narrow the prompt.
And again, ask us for help. We can give you quick tips to get what you need and we can build a completely custom version for you or your team. The best briefs evolve. Visit your dashboard to adjust anytime, or reply to your newsletter email and tell us what to change.
