Daily Tech & GNSS News Digest Generator

Generate daily news digest blog posts sourced primarily from Bloomberg Tech YouTube channel.

Workflow

1. Determine Target Date

• Use today's date for the digest title and filename
• For news content: prioritize today's news, but go back up to 3 days to cover weekends

2. Fetch Tech News from Bloomberg Tech

Search for Bloomberg Tech coverage using these queries:

Bloomberg Technology YouTube January [DAY] [YEAR]
Bloomberg Tech Asia January [YEAR]
Bloomberg Tech Europe January [YEAR]

Source Priority:

1. Bloomberg Tech (main US show) - primary source
2. Bloomberg Tech Asia - for Asian market/tech news
3. Bloomberg Tech Europe - for European tech news

Date Priority:

1. Today's episode - lead stories
2. Past 3 days - only HUGE news (major deals, IPOs, regulatory actions)

3. Read Recent Posts to Identify Already-Covered GNSS Stories

This step is mandatory — do not skip it. Before fetching any GNSS news:

1. List the 5 most recent daily digest files using Glob on src/content/posts/*-daily-tech-gnss-news.mdx, sorted by date descending.
2. Read the GNSS section of each file (the portion after ## GNSS News). Extract:
   • Every company name mentioned
   • Every product name mentioned
   • Every event or announcement covered (funding rounds, product launches, MOUs, incidents)
3. Build a blocklist of topics that must not appear again in today's digest, e.g.:
   • "Advanced Navigation Series C" — covered March 19
   • "u-blox ZED-X20D" — covered March 20
   • "Milanion / NovAtel MOU" — covered March 18
   • "Strait of Hormuz GNSS interference" — covered March 17, 19, 20
4. Only proceed to fetch GNSS news after completing this review. When evaluating candidate stories, cross-check each one against the blocklist and discard any match — even if it would appear only as an "Additional Headline."

Exception: If a blocked story has a concrete new development (new data, follow-up announcement, outcome), it may be included but must be clearly framed as "Update:" and must add genuinely new information — not a restatement of the original story.

If fewer than 2 fresh stories exist: Run with 1 story (or none) rather than recycle covered ones. A short GNSS section is better than a repetitive one.

5. Fetch GNSS News

Primary Sources (check first):

1. Inside GNSS - insidegnss.com (industry-leading publication)
2. GPS World - gpsworld.com

Company Newsrooms (check 2-3 with recent activity):

• Trimble: investor.trimble.com/news-releases
• Hexagon: hexagon.com/company/newsroom
• Topcon: topconpositioning.com/news
• Quectel: quectel.com/news
• Swift Navigation: swiftnav.com/newsroom
• u-blox: u-blox.com/en/newsroom
• Septentrio: septentrio.com/en/company/news
• CHC Navigation: chcnav.com/news
• Unicorecomm: unicorecomm.com/news

Efficient Search Strategy:

# Start with aggregated industry news
site:insidegnss.com news [current month] [YEAR]
site:gpsworld.com news [current month] [YEAR]

# Then search for major company announcements
"GNSS" OR "positioning" news (Trimble OR Hexagon OR Topcon) [current month] [YEAR]
"precision navigation" OR "RTK" OR "PPP" announcement [current month] [YEAR]

# Only if needed - check specific company newsrooms
site:trimble.com news release [current month] [YEAR]

Efficiency Rule: Stop after finding 2-3 solid GNSS stories that have not already appeared in recent digests. Don't exhaustively check every company newsroom - prioritize Inside GNSS and GPS World as they aggregate industry news. If truly fresh stories are scarce, it is better to run with 1 full GNSS story than to recycle covered ones.

6. Generate Article

Create MDX file at: src/content/posts/[YYYY-MM-DD]-daily-tech-gnss-news.mdx

See references/article-template.md for structure.

Tech News Section Structure:

• Lead story (biggest news from today)
• 2-3 major stories (mix of today + huge news from past 3 days)
• Additional Headlines (bullet list of 3-5 smaller items)

GNSS News Section Structure:

• 1-2 full stories with context
• Focus on: autonomous vehicles, precision agriculture, GPS-denied navigation, new products
