wilburnhuang Daily Tech & GNSS News Digest Generator
Generate daily news digest blog posts sourced primarily from Bloomberg Tech YouTube channel.
Workflow
1. Determine Target Date
- Use today's date for the digest title and filename
- For news content: prioritize today's news, but go back up to 3 days to cover weekends
2. Fetch Tech News from Bloomberg Tech
Search for Bloomberg Tech coverage using these queries:
Bloomberg Technology YouTube January [DAY] [YEAR]
Bloomberg Tech Asia January [YEAR]
Bloomberg Tech Europe January [YEAR]
Source Priority:
- Bloomberg Tech (main US show) - primary source
- Bloomberg Tech Asia - for Asian market/tech news
- Bloomberg Tech Europe - for European tech news
Date Priority:
- Today's episode - lead stories
- Past 3 days - only HUGE news (major deals, IPOs, regulatory actions)
3. Read Recent Posts to Identify Already-Covered GNSS Stories
This step is mandatory — do not skip it. Before fetching any GNSS news:
- List the 5 most recent daily digest files using Glob on
src/content/posts/*-daily-tech-gnss-news.mdx, sorted by date descending. - Read the GNSS section of each file (the portion after
## GNSS News). Extract:- Every company name mentioned
- Every product name mentioned
- Every event or announcement covered (funding rounds, product launches, MOUs, incidents)
- Build a blocklist of topics that must not appear again in today's digest, e.g.:
- "Advanced Navigation Series C" — covered March 19
- "u-blox ZED-X20D" — covered March 20
- "Milanion / NovAtel MOU" — covered March 18
- "Strait of Hormuz GNSS interference" — covered March 17, 19, 20
- Only proceed to fetch GNSS news after completing this review. When evaluating candidate stories, cross-check each one against the blocklist and discard any match — even if it would appear only as an "Additional Headline."
Exception: If a blocked story has a concrete new development (new data, follow-up announcement, outcome), it may be included but must be clearly framed as "Update:" and must add genuinely new information — not a restatement of the original story.
If fewer than 2 fresh stories exist: Run with 1 story (or none) rather than recycle covered ones. A short GNSS section is better than a repetitive one.
5. Fetch GNSS News
Primary Sources (check first):
- Inside GNSS - insidegnss.com (industry-leading publication)
- GPS World - gpsworld.com
Company Newsrooms (check 2-3 with recent activity):
- Trimble: investor.trimble.com/news-releases
- Hexagon: hexagon.com/company/newsroom
- Topcon: topconpositioning.com/news
- Quectel: quectel.com/news
- Swift Navigation: swiftnav.com/newsroom
- u-blox: u-blox.com/en/newsroom
- Septentrio: septentrio.com/en/company/news
- CHC Navigation: chcnav.com/news
- Unicorecomm: unicorecomm.com/news
Efficient Search Strategy:
# Start with aggregated industry news
site:insidegnss.com news [current month] [YEAR]
site:gpsworld.com news [current month] [YEAR]
# Then search for major company announcements
"GNSS" OR "positioning" news (Trimble OR Hexagon OR Topcon) [current month] [YEAR]
"precision navigation" OR "RTK" OR "PPP" announcement [current month] [YEAR]
# Only if needed - check specific company newsrooms
site:trimble.com news release [current month] [YEAR]
Efficiency Rule: Stop after finding 2-3 solid GNSS stories that have not already appeared in recent digests. Don't exhaustively check every company newsroom - prioritize Inside GNSS and GPS World as they aggregate industry news. If truly fresh stories are scarce, it is better to run with 1 full GNSS story than to recycle covered ones.
6. Generate Article
