Building a Custom AI News Agent with RSS and Telegram

Added: 2026-05-06

[00:00:00]I call this my radar scan process. And so basically every morning in Telegram, so I have these, you know, these four different agents. These are all operating on OpenClaw on my Mac Mini on my desk. Uh, one of my agents is I named this agent Veil. And this is like my marketing agent. And so Veil is responsible for running the radar scan, which the agent does every morning. And I received this one today. It runs actually at 4:00 in the morning. So it's here when I wake up. And so here is today's radar scan and there's a link and this is actually pointing to a markdown file that lives on my file system and also in Dropbox. And I'm opening it up in a customuilt app that I created called Brainown. And that is my markdown reader, markdown writer. And it really makes it easy for my agents and I to be able to pass these markdown files around to each other. and it basically summarizes a bunch of mostly tweets that are happening in my industry that came through sometime in the past 24 hours.

[00:01:02]These are people and companies and like industry news and influencers and thinkers that I really like to follow and I like to keep tabs on. So the agents are connected to my telegram and I have that here. I like to organize my telegram into these are my human friends and these are my agent friends. So then I get this message and I also instructed it, you know, don't give me the whole report in the telegram message. I just want sort of an overview and then I can click into this and open it up on my Brainown
