Send this to your assistant
Create a ClickRuntime automation: every weekday at 7am, use the Anthropic API with web search to find what's new on EU AI Act enforcement, and email me 5 bullet points with sources. Skip anything you sent me before.
First time? Adding ClickRuntime to your assistant takes about two minutes.
Why use it
Why teams use this automation
A sales rep before a call, a founder tracking competitors or an analyst following a market needs fresh facts that a news feed will not surface: a new pricing page, a funding round, a hiring spree, a regulation under discussion. Doing that research by hand means a dozen searches each morning, reading through weak results and keeping track of what was already seen. Most people do it for a week and then drop it, so decisions rely on information that is months old.
Every morning, the automation asks Claude, through the Messages API with the web search tool, to research the topics you list. It collects the sources Claude cites, removes items it has already sent (using stored history) and emails you a brief with a link for every claim.
Account executives preparing for meetings, strategy teams and consultants who need current information on a handful of subjects can use it.
What you get out of it
Fresh facts reach you each morning
Instead of searching yourself, you receive findings from the last day, with sources. You walk into the day knowing what changed overnight. You start the day with findings from the last day and the sources behind them, with no searching on your side.
Every claim has a citation
Because the brief includes the sources, you can click through to check anything important before you repeat it to a customer or colleague. Verification takes one click, which matters before you quote anything in a meeting.
Old news is not repeated
Stored history removes items already sent, so each brief adds only what is new. You are not asked to read the same funding story three days running. Each brief then adds only what is new for you.
Competitors are watched continuously
A new product page or a leadership change at a rival appears in your brief the day after it is published, while there is still time to respond. A quick reaction to a rival's move is easier with a day's notice.
Research habits that survive busy weeks
A scheduled brief keeps arriving when you are traveling or buried in other work, so your knowledge of the market does not lapse. Research continues without a reminder. Your picture of the market stays current without effort.
How it works
What happens, step by step
Every day, ClickRuntime asks Claude to search the web for what's new on your topic, such as EU AI Act enforcement.
Claude writes five bullet points, each backed by a source link.
ClickRuntime remembers the links it has already sent you and skips the email if there is nothing new.
When there is news, you get an email with the bullets and a list of the new sources.

What you get
Build your own
Need it to work differently?
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 Anthropic API steps into one automation
