If you’ve ever managed an email newsletter, you know how draining it can be to keep up with breaking news, write summaries, and make everything sound polished and professional, all before your subscribers have their morning coffee.
According to HubSpot, 77% of marketers have seen an increase in email engagement over the past year, making newsletters one of the most valuable ways to stay connected with audiences.
Yet, time remains the biggest barrier. Writing and curating news manually every day isn’t scalable.
That’s why we’re going to build something smarter, an AI Newsletter Generator powered by Botsify.
This AI agent automatically fetches real-time news, summarizes it, and creates a professional newsletter you can email to your audience in minutes.
Think of it as your personal content assistant that never misses a headline.
Why Build an AI Newsletter Generator
In today’s content-driven world, speed and accuracy make all the difference. Readers expect up-to-date information that’s relevant and easy to digest.
But for most businesses, that’s nearly impossible to maintain manually.
Here’s what usually happens:
- You browse multiple news sources.
- Copy headlines and summaries.
- Edit them to sound cohesive.
- Then paste everything into an email tool.
That’s hours of repetitive work, and it repeats every single day.
With an AI Newsletter Generator Agent, you can:
- Fetch real-time updates from trusted sources using web integrations.
- Summarize complex news into clear, readable insights.
- Add links, categories, or even tone preferences.
- Generate daily or weekly newsletters instantly.
It’s the same no-code approach that powers other AI workflows like the LinkedIn Post Writer and the Twitter Posting Agent.
All built on the same Agentic AI Platform that turns static automation into dynamic intelligence.
Why Botsify Is Better Than Traditional Tools
You might wonder, why not use an automation platform like Zapier or n8n?
Those tools are great for connecting services, but they don’t understand the content they move.
Zapier can send data between apps.
Botsify’s AI Agents can read, summarize, and write content intelligently.
Here’s how they compare:
| Feature | Zapier/n8n | Botsify |
| Real-Time News Updates | Can pull data from limited feeds or RSS | Connects to live web search tools for the latest stories |
| Content summarization | Possible with custom AI setup and API keys | Built-in AI summaries ready to use — no extra setup |
| Newsletter formatting | Manual layout design required | Automatically creates structured newsletters with links and highlights |
| Personalization | Basic placeholders or templates | Adapts writing style and tone for your specific audience |
| Setup Process | Requires workflow building and integrations | Guided, no-code conversational setup in Botsify |
With Botsify, you’re not just automating; you’re adding intelligence to every workflow.
Step-by-Step Guide: Build the AI Newsletter Generator
Let’s go through how to set up your agent step by step.
Step 1: Create a New Agent
Head to your Botsify dashboard and click Create Agent.
In the pop-up, enter a name like “AI Newsletter Generator” and click Create.
Your new agent will now appear in the dashboard, ready to configure.
Step 2: Write the Prompt
Every AI agent starts with a clear prompt that defines how it should behave.
Here’s the example used in the video:
You are an AI agent that automates news briefing email newsletters.
Your job is to automatically generate a daily or weekly AI news email newsletter for non-technical business owners.
Include recent updates about AI and major companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google Gemini.
Click Send Prompt to update your agent.
This prompt tells your AI exactly what kind of news to gather and how to present it.
Step 3: Add Web Search Tools
To make the agent fetch real-time news, connect web search integrations.
Copy the provided URLs, open the Web Search Tool, paste the links, and click Connect.
Repeat this process for each search URL you want to include.
Once done, both tools will show as “Connected.”
Step 4: Deploy the Agent
Click Deploy Agent to activate it.
Botsify automatically saves your configuration and prepares the agent for testing.
Now you’re ready to generate your first newsletter.
Step 5: Test the Newsletter Generator
Click Start Conversation.
The agent will ask whether you want a daily or weekly newsletter.
Select your preference, let’s say Daily.
In a few seconds, the agent compiles the latest news stories, summarizes them, and organizes them into sections with references and links.
Why This Agent Matters
Email is one of the most cost-effective digital channels today.
Litmus reports that for every $1 spent on email marketing, businesses earn an average of $36 in ROI.
An AI Newsletter Generator not only saves time but ensures your brand stays consistent and relevant.
You don’t need a content team or coding skills, just a well-trained AI agent that keeps your communication fresh, timely, and human-sounding.
Combine it with other AI Agents in Botsify, like the LinkedIn Post Writer for repurposing newsletter content into social posts, and you’ll have a complete, self-running content engine.
