Quick Start

Get your first daily news briefing in under 5 minutes.

  1. Install: In Obsidian, go to Settings > Community Plugins and search for "Daily News Briefing".
  2. Choose a pipeline: In plugin settings, pick an AI pipeline. We recommend Gemini Agentic Search (free, 1 key only).
  3. Add API keys: Store your key in Settings > Secret Storage, then follow the setup guide to link it in the plugin.
  4. Set topics: Enter comma-separated topics (e.g., AI, Tesla, Bitcoin).

That's it! Your news briefing is now in your vault. Optionally set a daily schedule in settings for automatic generation.
