Never miss what thought leaders publish
The people who matter in your space publish constantly — blog posts, newsletter issues, YouTube videos, Twitter threads. The problem isn't that the content doesn't exist. It's that there's too much of it, spread across too many places, with no system to filter signal from noise. Blog & RSS Intelligence fixes that.
Built on the blogwatcher CLI, this skill monitors any blog, RSS/Atom feed, or publication on a configurable schedule. Every 6 hours by default, it checks your configured sources for new content. When something new drops, your agent fetches it, summarizes the key points, extracts actionable takeaways, and delivers the digest to your Telegram or Discord channel.
The auto-summary engine does more than summarize — it extracts content ideas from every post it processes. If a competitor publishes about a topic you haven't covered, that gap shows up as a content idea in your queue. If a thought leader makes a claim you can build on or counter, that angle gets surfaced. Competitive intelligence and content strategy in one feed.
Source ranking lets you configure priority tiers, so you see the most important sources first. Duplicate detection prevents you from seeing the same story twice if it surfaces across multiple monitored feeds. Topic clustering groups related posts so you can see emerging themes before they become obvious.
YouTube channel monitoring works via RSS — every channel has a public RSS feed that blogwatcher can watch. We're currently monitoring 8+ YouTube channels in our production system, and the summaries have saved hours of watching videos to find the useful parts. Reading time estimation gives you a sense of content length before you decide to go deeper.
For anyone doing competitive research, content planning, or industry monitoring, this is the infrastructure layer. You configure your sources once, and the intelligence flows to you automatically. Stop manually checking 12 tabs every morning. Let the agent do it.
