How to Turn an AIDular Report Into a Weekly Briefing

The fastest way to turn an AIDular report into a weekly briefing is to write your prompt for an audience, add the right recipients, and let AIDular do the sending. You get a polished, sourced update that goes straight to everyone who needs it, every week, without any extra steps from you.

Why Most People Set It Up Wrong

Most people write their AIDular prompt as if they are the only reader. That works fine for personal tracking. But if you want to share the report with your team, your study group, or a group chat, a "notes to myself" style prompt does not quite fit.

A small change in how you write the prompt makes the report feel like it was written for a group, not just for one person.

Step-by-Step: Setting Up a Shared Weekly Briefing

Step 1: Decide Who Will Read It

Before you write a single word, think about your audience. Is it:

• Your work team (5 people who care about a specific industry)
• A university study group tracking research in a subject area
• A friend group following a sports league or niche hobby
• A small business owner and two colleagues tracking a local market

The clearer your audience, the sharper your prompt will be.

Step 2: Write the Prompt for the Group

This is the key step. Instead of writing "give me news about X", write the prompt as if briefing a group. Tell AIDular who the report is for and what matters to them.

Here is a copy-paste example prompt you can adapt:

"Every Monday morning, search for the top 5 developments in sustainable packaging from the past 7 days. The report is for a small product design team. For each item, include: what happened, why it matters to a product designer, and a source link. Keep the language plain and skip anything that is just a press release."

Notice what that prompt does:

• Sets a clear schedule ("every Monday morning")
• Defines the topic tightly ("sustainable packaging")
• Names the audience ("product design team")
• Asks for a specific format (what happened, why it matters, source link)
• Filters out noise ("skip press releases")

Step 3: Choose Weekly as Your Schedule

For a shared briefing, weekly is almost always the right call. Daily reports can feel like too much for a group to process together. Monthly reports go stale fast.

Pick Monday or Tuesday delivery so your team has the briefing at the start of the working week, when it is actually useful.

Step 4: Add Your Recipients in AIDular

AIDular lets you add multiple email addresses as recipients. Go to your report settings and add everyone who should get the briefing. They do not need an AIDular account themselves. The email lands in their inbox like any other email.

A few tips here:

• Only add people who genuinely want it. An unwanted email is just spam.
• Tell your recipients to expect it so they do not mark it as junk.
• You can always remove or add people later.

Step 5: Review the First Report Before You Rely On It

After your first delivery, read it yourself before assuming it is perfect. Ask:

• Does the format match what you asked for?
• Is the topic focused enough, or is it too broad?
• Would someone who did not set it up understand every section?

If something feels off, tweak the prompt. Even a small change, like adding "focus only on news from Europe" or "exclude opinion pieces", can sharpen the result a lot.
