How the Dailyn digest builder works
Dailyn turns a plain-language description of what you follow into a daily news digest. Instead of subscribing to feeds or setting keyword alerts, you write a sentence or two — your role, the topics, the angle, the regions — and Dailyn picks the stories from 480+ trusted sources that match it. Every item links to the original article.
- Describe your interests. Write what matters to you in plain language, the way you would brief a colleague. Name the angle, not just the topic: "funding rounds in climate tech" is a different digest from "climate policy".
- Preview a digest. Dailyn builds a sample from today's news in minutes, so you see exactly what you would get before you change anything.
- Tune the settings. Choose the format — headlines only, balanced coverage or detailed analysis — up to 15 sources, and the time the digest should arrive in your time zone.
- Receive it daily. One digest a day in your inbox, on your schedule. Edit the prompt, format, sources or delivery time from your account whenever your focus changes.
Prompts that make a good digest
- "I'm a developer. Track framework releases, new LLM models and production implementation practices, without the hype."
- "Product manager in fintech: payments regulation in the EU and UK, neobank product launches, and funding rounds above $20M."
- "Security lead at a mid-size company: critical vulnerabilities in widely used software, major breaches and what caused them, new guidance from CISA and ENISA."
- "Consultant covering retail: earnings and guidance from the big chains, supply-chain disruptions, and consumer spending data."
Questions
- Is it free?
- The first 10 digests are free, no card required — including the ones you generate while testing. After that, the Pro plan makes digests unlimited, with one delivery a day on your schedule.
- Where does the news come from?
- From 480+ established publications and industry sources. Dailyn selects and condenses the day's coverage, and every item links back to the article it came from.
- How is this different from an RSS reader or Google Alerts?
- An RSS reader shows everything a feed publishes, and an alert matches keywords. Dailyn reads the day's news against your description and keeps only what fits it, so you get a finite digest instead of a feed to work through.
- Can I see an example first?
- Yes. The News Hub publishes a free weekly briefing for each industry it covers, built from the same sources. The blog compares Dailyn with RSS readers, news aggregators and alert tools.
