Send a daily AI news digest on a schedule
A Manus scheduled task searches Reddit, X and Hacker News each morning, ranks results and delivers a digest to email or Notion; a how-to guide.
What they did
You create a scheduled task in Manus and write a plain-language standing prompt. The prompt names the subreddits, Hacker News and X searches to cover, the ranking criteria, and the digest format and destination. Each morning the agent browses those public pages, collects top posts, ranks them by engagement and relevance, and sends the digest. The person runs one manual test first, then refines the prompt.
How it went
The source gives no measured results. It says first prompts usually need tuning after about a week, and that X coverage is inconsistent, paywalled stories can't be summarized, and complex scrapes can fail.
Worth knowing
A daily recurring task will likely need a paid Manus plan, since the free tier caps task runs. Test manually first to find blocked sources.
