Send this to your assistant

Create a ClickRuntime automation: every day at 7am, fetch these RSS feeds, summarise only the new items with Mistral Small using my key, and email me the digest.

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

First time? Adding ClickRuntime to your assistant takes about two minutes.

Why use it

Why teams use this automation

A founder, analyst or researcher who follows a dozen blogs, changelogs and newsletters usually starts the day by skimming tabs and an inbox full of near-duplicate links. Half the posts are rewrites of the same announcement, and the one item that matters, such as a competitor's pricing change or a library release, gets buried. The skimming takes 20 to 30 minutes and still misses things.

At 7am each day, ClickRuntime pulls new posts from the feeds you list, drops any link it has already sent you, and passes the rest to a Mistral chat completion that writes a short summary per item. The result arrives as a single email, so you read one message instead of opening a dozen sources.

It suits people who want a private briefing on a narrow topic, such as a competitor watchlist, without adding another app to check.

What you get out of it

  • One email replaces the morning scan

    Dozens of headlines collapse into a message you can read over coffee. The 20 minutes of tab hopping goes back to real work, and the briefing is in the same place every day rather than scattered across feeds.

  • Duplicates never reach your inbox

    Because each link is remembered once it has been sent, a story that three blogs repost appears a single time. You stop re-reading the same announcement and trust that anything in the digest is new.

  • Summaries chosen by a model you picked

    The summarising step runs on Mistral, so teams that prefer a European model provider or already evaluate Mistral output get it in a real workflow. You judge its quality on your own sources, not on a demo.

  • Fewer missed releases

    A changelog entry or pricing page update that would have scrolled past in a reader app is surfaced with a plain summary. You react to a competitor move the same morning instead of a week later.

  • Sources you control completely

    The list of feeds is yours. Add a niche subreddit feed or drop a noisy blog and the next digest reflects it, so the briefing stays tuned to what your job actually needs.

How it works

What happens, step by step

  1. Every morning, ClickRuntime checks the feeds you follow for new posts.

  2. It skips anything already included in an earlier digest.

  3. Mistral summarises each new item in one sentence and keeps its link.

  4. You get one email with the digest. If nothing is new, no email is sent.

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 Mistral AI 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

Which sources can the digest read?
Anything that exposes a feed or a page the automation can fetch, such as RSS or Atom feeds from blogs, changelogs and release pages. Sites with no feed can be added if the page itself lists items. You name the sources when you set it up.
Does it need a Mistral account or API key?
The automation calls Mistral for the chat completion step, so it uses a Mistral API key that you store as a secret. The key is kept out of the workflow text, and the run history in the ClickRuntime dashboard shows each completion that was requested.
What if no new posts arrived overnight?
After the duplicate check, an empty list means there is nothing to summarise. You can have it skip the email entirely or send a one-line note, so a quiet day does not produce an empty message that trains you to ignore the digest.
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 (daily). 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.
