Send this to your assistant

Paste it into your assistant. It tells you what it will send or change before it runs live.

Why use it

Why teams use this automation

A small-business owner who invests on the side wants a quick picture of the markets before work, but financial sites are cluttered with ads, autoplay videos and clickbait headlines. Scrolling through three of them takes twenty minutes and leaves her with an impression instead of facts. On busy mornings she skips it, and then hears about a sharp move from a colleague at lunch.

On the schedule you choose, ClickRuntime fetches headlines from the feeds or news API you pick, gives them to Gemini and asks for a plain bullet recap: what moved, which sectors led, and which company or central bank news drove it. The recap is emailed with links to the original articles.

It suits independent investors, finance teams and founders who want the signal without opening a terminal.

What you get out of it

Market context in two minutes
A bullet recap covers the main moves and their stated causes in one short email. You start the day knowing what happened overnight without wading through twenty headlines. It also makes the first coffee more useful.
Headlines without the noise
Condensing many sources into plain statements removes the sensational wording and repeated stories. What remains are the facts, with links for the stories worth reading fully. Nothing is hidden behind a paywall prompt or an autoplay video, so reading is calm and quick.
You choose the sources
Pointing the recap at sources you trust, such as a central bank feed, a business wire or a few outlets, keeps the content aligned with what you value, instead of whatever an algorithm promotes.
A habit that survives busy days
Because the email arrives at the same time every day, staying informed does not rely on willpower. Even a skim on the way to a meeting beats missing a rate decision altogether.
A searchable history of the market story
Past recaps pile up in your inbox with dates, which makes it easy to look back and see what was being said when a stock you hold moved sharply last month.

Build your own

Need it to work differently?

This template is a starting point. Copy the prompt and change it, or describe a different automation from scratch, with your own conditions, more apps or an AI step. Your assistant writes it, tests it and runs it on ClickRuntime.

Your own rules
Conditions, thresholds, filters and exceptions, written the way you'd explain them to a colleague.
Any number of apps
One automation can read from one app and update several others. Over 248 apps are ready, and anything with an API works too.
AI where it helps
Summaries, classification, extraction and drafts use ClickRuntime's built-in AI, with no extra key.
On a schedule or on each event
Runs as often as every 5 minutes, or the moment an app sends an event, and keeps track of what it already handled.

Changes you can ask for

Run it at a different time, more or less often, or only on weekdays
Add an AI step, for example to summarize, sort or draft a reply
Add another app, for example also send it to Slack
Combine it with other Google Gemini steps into one automation

Under the hood

The code that runs this automation

This is the Python script that runs each time the automation starts. Your AI assistant writes it for you when you send the prompt, and you allow each step in your assistant. To change how the automation works, describe the change to your assistant and it updates the script for you. For every function it can use, see the script reference.

FAQ

Common questions

Does it give investment advice?

No. It summarizes news that was already published and does not recommend buying or selling anything. Treat the recap as background reading, check the linked articles and make decisions with your own research or a licensed adviser.

Can it focus on certain companies or sectors?

Yes. You can supply tickers, company names or sectors such as energy or semiconductors, and the recap pays attention to the headlines that mention them. A general market section can still be kept at the top.

How accurate are the summaries?

They follow the headlines and article text supplied, and Gemini can still misstate a figure. Every bullet links back to its source so you can verify numbers, and it is wise to confirm prices on a trusted quote page before acting.

What permissions does it need?

API key. Nothing else in your accounts is used.

Does it need AI?

No. It runs without AI, so it doesn't use your plan's AI allowance.

How many runs does it use?

One run each time it runs (on a schedule). Checks that find nothing to do and stop right away aren't counted.

Can I change how it works?

Yes. Describe the change to your AI assistant, for example a different schedule, channel or filter. It updates the automation, tests it and tells you what changed.
