Curating daily news for info and fun
And talking points for “watercooler chit-chats” in the office
Mornings are precious. Whether you’re having breakfast with loved ones, getting the kids ready for school, or easing into your day, the last thing you want to do is waste time. For me, scrolling through ad-laden, cluttered news sites or skimming one-sided headlines is a waste of time.
You want to catch up on what’s happening in the world without spending half your day doing it. Even if you have the whole day, there are more interesting things to do.
What if you could get a neatly packaged digest of news, tailored just for you, without all the ads and noise? Like an Executive PA getting your daily briefings ready while you have coffee and a croissant?
I use Perplexity for curating my daily news. It has become a routine that’s quick, insightful, and quite enjoyable. It helps me bypass pop-up ads, biased reporting, or irrelevant “click bait” stories.
I also get the entire story (“You should get both sides of the propaganda,” I often say.) delivered in a format that’s easy to scan. It’s like having my PA back again when I was working in Singapore.
Whether you’re a C-Level executive, a curious retired teacher, or an intern who wants a few talking points to impress your boss when you bump into her at the watercooler, AI can help.
In this piece, I would like to share how I use AI to curate my morning news. I will share the prompt I use and the reason I have structured it this way. Change it according to your preference.
