Hacker News AI Agents Digest — Weekly top discussions delivered to Telegram
How it works
The agent fetches the top AI agents discussions from Hacker News via the public Algolia API — no API key required. It filters only stories with more than 50 points to cut out noise, sorts by engagement, and picks the top 5. It then sends a clean Telegram digest with titles, point counts, dates, and direct links. Can be set up as a weekly routine so the digest arrives every Monday morning automatically.
Example Prompt
“Fetch this URL using the http tool: https://hn.algolia.com/api/v1/search?query=AI+agents&tags=story&hitsPerPage=10&numericFilters=points>50 Parse the JSON response. For each story extract: - Title - Points - Date - URL Sort by points (highest first). Take top 5. Then send me a Telegram message in this format: "🗞 Hacker News — AI Agents Digest 1. [Title] ⬆️ [Points] points · [Date] 🔗 [URL] 2. [Title] ⬆️ [Points] points · [Date] 🔗 [URL] (repeat for all 5 stories) 💬 Most discussed: [title of #1 post]" If you want this automatically every week, create a routine that runs every Monday at 9:00 AM with this exact task.”
