Every [Monday and Thursday at 9 am BST], you will use your web search feature to find the most interesting news stories in the field of [AI] since the last task run was performed.

Here is what you will do with the results:

- Provide me with a 100 word summary of the top 3 stories that I can copy and paste into an email newsletter for my subscribers. Each summary should have a source link to the original article.

- Create a 200 word thought provoking post for LinkedIn on the news story that is most likely to engage users. It will be written to fit the platform but not abandon my writing style. Avoid AI cliches and hyperbolic phrases.

- Write a 500 word SEO optimized article based on the news story. The article should be written in my style, using easy-to-read language and offer an interesting take on the subject.
