Morning Medium News digest via Gmail + Chrome login

Daily Medium News mail piles up unread.

What hurt

Masatatsu built a Grok Bot that summarizes the Medium News emails that arrive every day. Setup stayed conversational: connect Gmail with the connector, sign into Medium in the box Chrome so the bot can open links, and ask for a structured digest — title with link, who the piece is for, and a short overview. He scheduled it for mornings so the summary shows up without babysitting.

What to install or create

One digest bot. Gmail connector for the Medium News messages. Chrome signed into Medium for link opens. Ask for title+link, audience, overview. Hang a weekday (or daily) morning routine. No inventing article claims beyond the mail body / opened page.

Bots

The prompt

Paste for one digest run

Curated from masatatsu8’s published setup (Gmail connector + Chrome Medium login + title/audience/overview + morning schedule). Not a full system prompt he pasted.

Last line is our approval fence: Never send, post, spend, or buy without my explicit yes.

Read today's Medium News emails in Gmail.
For each piece, output:
- title (with link)
- who it is for
- short overview
Use the signed-in Chrome session only if you need to open a link. Do not invent claims beyond the mail or opened page. Do not reply, send, subscribe, or unsubscribe.

Never send, post, spend, or buy without my explicit yes.

First run

  1. 1Skim https://x.com/masatatsu8/status/2094930613002445149 for the setup he posted.
  2. 2Create Medium digest. Connect Gmail. Sign into Medium in the bot's Chrome if link opens matter.
  3. 3Paste the medium-digest-shape ask on today's Medium News mail. Check the three-field shape.
  4. 4If it looks right, schedule a morning routine. Stay quiet when there is nothing new.
  5. 5Keep send / reply / subscribe changes behind your yes.

What to tweak

Steal the connector + signed-in browser combo for newsletter digests. Schedule after one good manual run.
