# 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:**
1. Bloomberg Tech (main US show) - primary source
2. Bloomberg Tech Asia - for Asian market/tech news
3. Bloomberg Tech Europe - for European tech news

**Date Priority:**
1. Today's episode - lead stories
2. 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:

1. **List** the 5 most recent daily digest files using Glob on `src/content/posts/*-daily-tech-gnss-news.mdx`, sorted by date descending.
2. **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)
3. **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
4. **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):**
1. **Inside GNSS** - insidegnss.com (industry-leading publication)
2. **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

Create MDX file at: `src/content/posts/[YYYY-MM-DD]-daily-tech-gnss-news.mdx`

See [references/article-template.md](references/article-template.md) for structure.

**Tech News Section Structure:**
- Lead story (biggest news from today)
- 2-3 major stories (mix of today + huge news from past 3 days)
- Additional Headlines (bullet list of 3-5 smaller items)

**GNSS News Section Structure:**
- 1-2 full stories with context
- Focus on: autonomous vehicles, precision agriculture, GPS-denied navigation, new products

### 7. Commit (if requested)

Use commit message format:
```
feat: add daily tech & GNSS news digest for [DATE]
```

## Quality Guidelines

- Bold key figures (**$1 billion**, **6 gigawatts**)
- Include company names and specific numbers
- Attribute sources ("Bloomberg reports...", "According to...")
- Keep paragraphs concise (3-4 sentences max)
- Key Takeaways: exactly 3 bullet points summarizing main themes
