In the AI industry, an information gap is a competitive advantage.
Every team wants to know what’s happening as soon as it happens. But the reality is often a manual process of searching news sites, copying and pasting links into a document, then organizing and sharing them. This can take hours a day, and important news still gets missed. What should be simple intelligence gathering becomes one of the most time-consuming, low-efficiency tasks for a team.
A News Aggregator Workflow
To fix this, our team built a News Aggregator workflow on a platform called Maybe AI. It works like this:
- We created a shared Google Sheet to serve as a central library for industry news.
- In Maybe AI, we entered a simple prompt: "Collect AI industry news from the past 24 hours. Use these keywords, get it from these trusted websites, and write it to this spreadsheet."
- The system generated the workflow automatically.
- We run it with one click. News is fetched, structured, and added to the sheet.
- We set it to run automatically at 10 a.m. every day. Now, the latest updates are waiting for the team when they start their day.
You can try a version of this workflow here.
How This Changed Things
The effects were immediate.
- Marketing: The team gets a quick read on market dynamics.
- Content: The team can pull topics and angles directly from the news feed.
- Everyone: No one is burdened with manual organization. The latest industry trends are just there, in a spreadsheet.
What was once a scattered, repetitive manual process is now automated. The team's day starts with insight, not with a task.
The Results
In practice, this workflow saves each team member at least one to two hours of repetitive work per day. Our response time for new topics and content has improved noticeably. And because everyone is working from the same information, team alignment is better and communication is smoother.
In short, the team now spends its time thinking, not moving data around.
This workflow can be adapted for any team that needs to collect and organize information from any industry. It is particularly useful for small to medium-sized or agile teams.
A Final Thought
The AI industry changes fast. Falling a day behind can mean missing an opportunity.
The idea behind Maybe AI is simple: "Data workflows, minus the work."
By automating the process of gathering information, you let your team focus on making decisions and creating things. If you'd like to try this yourself, you can use Maybe AI to turn the task of "checking the news" over to an automated workflow.
