What the digest contains
Each digest covers the top-ranked stories published since your previous digest. The first digest covers the last 24 hours.- AI executive summary (optional). A short assessment of the period’s main developments, written for your watchlist and interests. Email carries the full summary. Chat channels carry the lead paragraph. Turn it off with the “AI executive summary” switch.
- Stories grouped by severity. Critical, then High, then Medium. The Critical section is never shortened. High and Medium sections show the top stories and a count of the rest.
- Each story line. The headline, linked to the original report. Then the outlets that carried it, and a one-line description from the publisher’s feed when one exists.
- Links onward. A link to your full World Monitor Brief when it is ready, and to the live dashboard.
Every story links to its original report
The link on each headline is the article URL from the source feed. Onlyhttp and https links are used. A story with no usable article URL is shown as an unlinked headline instead of a broken link.
Chat apps limit message length. A long Telegram or Discord digest is shortened before the limit, at the end of a line where possible, so a story link is not cut in half. Email has no such limit for normal digests. A very large email drops its lowest-priority stories and links to the full brief instead.
