How to stay up-to-date with AI [2026]

Description and use

The author presents an automated workflow combining Reddit feeds, newsletters, a YouTube summarization tool, and a Telegram bot to deliver daily AI updates efficiently.

Problem

AI releases and updates happen too fast, making it hard to keep up without spending excessive time.

Outcome

By combining free and paid automation tools, the author achieved a streamlined daily AI briefing that requires only a few minutes each morning, eliminating the need for extensive manual research.

Workflow

• Create a custom Reddit feed for AI communities (e.g., r/OpenAI, r/GithubCopilot, r/artificial, r/ClaudeAI).
• Subscribe to free AI newsletters (The Code, Superhuman AI, TLDR AI) using a dedicated email address.
• Set up the open‑source YouTube summary project (github.com/kresohr/youtube-summary) to fetch latest videos, transcribe, summarize via Gemini, and display summaries daily.
• Configure a Cursor Grok Bot named "Bobi" to run on a daily cron schedule, pulling information from specified sources and sending a morning brief to Telegram.
• Receive the daily AI brief on Telegram and review summaries to decide which full videos to watch.
• Repeat daily, adjusting sources as needed.
