How to Create Your First AI News Briefing (Step-by-Step)

Why Create an AI News Briefing?

Whether you're tracking an industry, monitoring competitors, or following a specific topic, an AI news briefing delivers exactly the news you need — curated from 87,000+ sources across 89 languages. No more scrolling through dozens of sites. Here's how to set one up in under 2 minutes.

Step 1: Start a Conversation with Lens

Head to the ClarityBriefs chat interface and meet Lens, your AI briefing assistant. Lens guides you through the setup with simple questions. Start by describing your topic in plain language — for example, 'Electric vehicle market news in Europe' or 'FDA drug approvals in oncology.' No special syntax or Boolean operators needed.

Step 2: Choose Your Sources and Language

Lens will ask which languages you want to search in and what news category fits best (Business, Technology, Health, Science, and more). You can search in multiple languages simultaneously — a single briefing can pull from English, German, Japanese, and Arabic sources at the same time. This is where ClarityBriefs stands apart from most news tools.

Step 3: Preview Your Briefing

Once Lens has your topic and preferences, it generates a live preview with real articles from 87,000+ sources. Review the headlines, sources, and summaries. If the results aren't quite right, refine your topic description — Lens adapts instantly. This preview step ensures your briefing delivers exactly what you need before you commit.

Step 4: Save and Schedule Delivery

Happy with the preview? Save your briefing as a template. From here, you can schedule automated email delivery — choose which days and what time works best for you. Plus subscribers can also enable Smart Trigger, which sends an alert when significant new articles match your topic, rather than waiting for a fixed schedule.

Step 5: Share or Keep It Private

Every briefing can be published to the ClarityBriefs Discover page, where other users can subscribe to it. This is great for thought leaders, analysts, and curators who want to build an audience around their expertise. Or keep it private — it's your choice. Either way, your briefing updates automatically with fresh articles.

Tips for Better Briefings

Be specific with your topic description — 'AI chip manufacturing supply chain' works better than just 'AI.' Use multiple languages if your topic has global coverage. Create separate briefings for different aspects of your work — one for competitors, one for industry trends, one for regulatory news. The more focused each briefing is, the more useful the results.

Start in Under 2 Minutes

That's it — five steps from zero to a fully automated, AI-curated news briefing. No technical setup, no RSS configuration, no keyword fiddling. Just describe what matters to you, and ClarityBriefs handles the rest. Your first briefing is waiting.
