The fastest way to stay on top of your industry is to tell AIDular exactly what to watch, pick a schedule, and let the reports come to you. No more checking five websites every morning.
This post walks you through the whole setup, from writing a solid prompt to choosing the right delivery frequency.
Why Most People Miss the Good Stuff
Most industry news gets buried. It lives across trade blogs, company press releases, niche newsletters, and LinkedIn posts. Checking all of those manually every day is exhausting, so most people just give up and stay uninformed.
A focused, well-written prompt fixes that. AIDular searches the web on your schedule and emails you a clean, sourced summary of only the things you asked about.
Step 1: Pick Your Industry and Angle
"Industry news" is too vague on its own. The more specific you are, the more useful your report will be.
Think about what you actually need to know:
- New product launches or company announcements?
- Regulation or policy changes?
- Funding rounds and acquisitions?
- Consumer trends or behaviour shifts?
- Key people being hired or leaving?
Pick one or two angles per prompt. You can always create separate prompts for separate angles.
Step 2: Write a Focused Prompt
A good prompt answers three questions: what topic, what type of updates, and what to skip.
Here is a copy-paste example you can use or adapt:
"Search for news published in the last 7 days about the sustainable fashion industry. Include: new brand launches, funding announcements, and any new regulations affecting textile producers in Europe or the US. Skip opinion pieces and generic lifestyle articles."
That prompt is specific enough to filter out noise, but broad enough to catch anything important. Adjust the timeframe, industry, and focus areas to fit your situation.
What makes a prompt work well
- Name the industry clearly ("electric vehicle charging infrastructure" beats "EVs")
- State the types of updates you want (funding, launches, regulations, etc.)
- Tell it what to skip (opinion, old news, unrelated topics)
- Mention a region if location matters to you
Step 3: Choose Your Schedule
This is the question most people overthink.
Daily works best if your industry moves fast, like crypto, financial markets, or tech startups. You want to know things the same day they happen.
Weekly is the right choice for most people. It gives you a digest without inbox overload. Good for retail, media, healthcare, sustainability, and most B2B sectors.
Monthly suits slow-moving industries like infrastructure, academic research, or policy. You care about trends and big shifts, not day-to-day noise.
A simple rule: if missing a single day's news could matter to your work or studies, go daily. If not, start weekly and adjust from there.
Step 4: Add Recipients If You Work in a Team
AIDular lets you add other email addresses to a prompt. If you and a classmate are both tracking the same sector for a project, or if you want your manager to get the same report, just add their address when setting up the prompt. Everyone gets the same sourced report, no copy-pasting required.
Step 5: Read Your Report Strategically
When your report arrives, skim the headlines first. If something catches your eye, the source link is right there so you can read the full article. AIDular does not summarise and hide the source. You can always verify what you are reading.
Look for patterns across a few weeks, not just one report. That is where the real value shows up: you start to see which companies keep appearing, which topics are heating up, and where gaps exist that others are missing.
