Automated Meta AI Morning Topic Brief

Every morning, WebRun opens Meta AI, asks it for an update on each topic on your watch list, captures the answers with the sources it names, posts a short brief to your Slack channel, and drafts a tidied version in Gmail for the wider distribution list to approve.

In short

How do I get a short daily brief on the topics my team follows?

WebRun opens Meta AI every morning and asks for an update on each topic your team tracks, capturing the answers and the sources named. It posts a short brief to Slack with unsupported claims clearly marked, and drafts a tidied email version in Gmail for a person to approve before circulating.

  • A two minute brief is waiting before the first meeting
  • Unsupported claims are flagged rather than passed off as fact
  • The wider email version is written but never sent without approval

Step by step

What does WebRun do on every run?

The exact actions WebRun takes, in order - in plain language, so you can adjust anything.

  1. WebRun signs in and gets to work

    Opens meta.ai in a real browser with your saved login - no setup, no API keys.

    • Ask it to name the sources behind anything it reports as new
    • Capture the answer text and any links it gives
    • Note where the answer is vague or unsupported so the brief can say so

    Done when Every topic on the watch list has an answer and its named sources.

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it email the wider list on its own?

No. The circulated version is saved as an unsent Gmail draft every morning. WebRun writes and formats it, and a person decides whether it goes out, so nothing reaches a distribution list unread.

How reliable is what the assistant reports?

Treat it as a starting point, not a source of record. WebRun asks Meta AI to name its sources, puts those links in the brief, and explicitly marks any claim that came back unsupported so a reader knows what still needs checking.

Can I change the topic list?

Yes. The watch list is plain text you edit whenever priorities shift, and the next morning's run asks about the new topics. One prompt is used per topic so the answers stay separate and easy to scan.

Put this on autopilot.
