🚀 Curate Your Own AI-Powered Government Newsletter (or any industry!) with Copilot!

Wouldn’t it be great to get custom daily news summaries tailored to your role and industry? That’s exactly what my colleague Kevin did using Copilot, and I LOVE his approach.

🔹 Step 1: Gather headlines from key sources (e.g., for Federal news, use sources like FedScoop, FedNewsNetwork)
🔹 Step 2: Ask to identify the top trending topics
🔹 Step 3: Summarize them with relevance to your work (e.g., data security in government, cost-saving opportunities, etc)

This structure works for ANY industry—just swap in your go-to news sources! 📢

I’ll drop the full prompt below.

How do you stay on top of industry trends? Let me know below! 👇
