5-column Gab AI Deck recipe for daily news briefings

Daily News Brief automates the loop most newsletter operators run by hand. Column 1 scrapes the sources you trust; column 2 summarises with o3 against an explicit anti-hallucination instruction; column 3 generates the voiceover for a podcast cut; column 4 renders the thumbnail for the email or YouTube short; and column 5 publishes to your feed of choice. Schedule the recipe daily and the brief writes itself before you wake up.

How to use this recipe

  1. Click "Use this recipe" to clone the 5-column deck into your account.
  2. Configure the scrape column with your source list (RSS feeds, sites, hashtags) — the deck cannot invent stories, only surface what your sources publish.
  3. Pin the summarisation rubric in column 2: never fabricate, cite every claim to a source, refuse to answer when context is missing.
  4. Generate the voiceover and thumbnail in parallel; keep the script under 90 seconds for podcast-friendly cuts.
  5. Publish to the feed (newsletter, X, podcast hosting) — or pipe the brief into your favourite ESP via the publish column.

Daily News Brief FAQ

How do I prevent hallucinated stories?

The summarisation column is configured with an explicit anti-hallucination instruction: every claim must trace back to a scraped source. If the model cannot verify a fact, it is told to omit rather than fabricate. Always spot-check before publishing.

Can it scrape Twitter / X?

X scraping depends on your tooling. The recipe ships generic web-scrape behaviour; if you have an X-specific scraper or RSS-from-X service, bind it to the column.

Does it support multiple verticals?

Yes — fork the deck per vertical (fintech, AI, sports, etc.) so each has its own source list and editorial voice. Save the layout as a per-vertical recipe.

Can I schedule it daily?

Pair the recipe with a Gab AI Task Template that fires at your preferred time. The task triggers the deck and emails you the brief or pushes it to your podcast feed.

How long is each brief?

Aim for 350–600 words / 60–90 seconds of voiceover. Specify length in the summarisation column so o3 respects the cap.

Can I add a "what to skip" section?

Yes — instruct the summarisation column to surface stories that look loud but lack signal, and call them out explicitly. Some readers find that section more valuable than the brief itself.
