Day 6 Build and honestly one of the coolest days so far!

Built a Daily AI Industry Digest that runs every morning at 9:00 AM BST on its own. No prompting, no babysitting. It pulls and summarises AI news across categories like Models & Research, Products & Launches, Funding, Policy and UK Events, sourcing from places like Fortune, Axios, TechCrunch, CNBC and Bloomberg. Opened my laptop and the digest was already sitting there waiting. Took a second to sink in!

Scheduled task or loop?

Actually used both. The digest itself runs on a schedule, but inside the project I used a loop to continuously check for runtime errors and logs while it runs. That way if something breaks mid-run, the agent catches it rather than silently failing. Much better than finding out after the fact that nothing got scraped!

What surprised me?

Seeing it had already completed before I even started my day. There is something different about watching an agent handle things quietly in the background compared to manually running prompts yourself. It has been firing every morning since 19 May without a single miss.

Going from "I run the tool" to "the tool runs itself" is where automation starts to feel real.
