Daily Briefing

Produce a concise morning news briefing covering four topics. Use web_search to find stories from the last 24 hours, then summarize the top results.

Steps

1. Run these four web_search queries (all filtered to the last 24 hours):

   • "technology news today" — general tech, AI, startups, major product launches
   • "health IT healthcare technology news today" — digital health, EHR, health tech policy
   • "Africa business technology news today" — African startups, funding, markets, infrastructure
   • "fintech investment funding news today" — fintech deals, venture capital, crypto regulation

2. For each topic, pick the top 3 most noteworthy stories. Prefer stories with concrete facts (funding amounts, product names, policy changes) over opinion pieces.

3. Write a 2-3 sentence summary for each story. Include the source name in parentheses at the end.

4. If any story spans multiple topics (e.g., an African fintech funding round), mention it in a short "Worth Watching" note at the end.

Output Format

Use this exact structure:

**Daily Briefing — [Today's Date]**

Guidelines

• Keep the total briefing to ~400-500 words — scannable, not exhaustive.
• Use bold for headlines and italic for source names.
• Do not editorialize. Stick to facts from the search results.
• If a search returns fewer than 3 quality stories, include only what is genuinely newsworthy rather than padding with low-quality results.
