Ask me about missing information before you continue. ## Overall request Create a sample one-page morning newspaper from only the supplied calendar entries, messages and optional source. Preserve dates and timezones, cite every item, mark missing context, keep correction notes outside the edition, and do not connect accounts, schedule, send or print anything. ## Decisions for a person - Choose sources and private-topic exclusions - Approve every connected account, schedule and delivery path - Approve a single print trial before recurring printing ## First test Use fictional appointments and messages to make one page. Check every detail in print preview; do not schedule or print it yet. ## Success checkpoint Check the result against your original material. You make the decisions listed below. Use fictional appointments and messages to make one page. Check every detail in print preview; do not schedule or print it yet. ## If the workflow stalls If the result is incomplete, mark the missing information and ask the same Bot to correct it. Add another Bot only when a genuinely separate role or independent check would help. ## Ways to do this job with another AI service These options may not work the same way. Read what has and has not been tested. ### Grok Bot — Original creator workflow - **How it could work:** Karen X. Cheng's Morning Newspaper turns selected personal information into a short paper edition that can print overnight. - **Start here:** Review the original marketplace item and its imported instructions before connecting sources. Start with a preview and confirm the exact delivery and printer path. - **What we have not tested:** Bot Cabinet checked the official listing, but has not run the Bot, checked its account access, scheduled it or tested its printing. - **Source:** [The Morning Newspaper — Karen X. Cheng](https://x.ai/bot/marketplace/bots/the-morning-newspaper) - **Setup guide:** https://botcabinet.com/guides/morning-newspaper-across-agents/ ### Hermes — One sample task passed - **How it could work:** Install the standalone Daily Newspaper profile, then give it selected or made-up calendar entries, messages and reading for one manual edition. - **Start here:** Open the Daily Newspaper page, review the profile and its access limits, download the Hermes archive, import it from Profiles in Hermes Desktop, and run the sample before adding any schedule or connection. - **What we have not tested:** One sample task with fictional inputs passed. Live account connections, unattended scheduling, repeated runs, saving, sending, printing and publication have not been tested. - **Source:** [Read the Hermes test record](/proof-room/daily-newspaper/runtime-summary.md) - **Setup guide:** https://botcabinet.com/bots/daily-newspaper/ ### Muse — What to check — not tested - **How it could work:** Ask Muse to make the same short edition from the connections your account can use. Then check whether it can save or deliver a printable file. - **Start here:** Make one sample first. Ask which information it can read, whether it can run each morning, where files are kept, what it costs and how to stop it. - **What we have not tested:** Meta says Muse can use connected apps and work in the background. Bot Cabinet has not tested this complete job or printing. - **Source:** [Muse provider announcement](https://about.fb.com/news/2026/09/introducing-muse-personal-ai-agent/) - **Setup guide:** https://botcabinet.com/guides/morning-newspaper-across-agents/ ### Instinct — What to check — not tested - **How it could work:** Give Instinct the same job and check which personal information, schedules and file types your account can use. - **Start here:** Ask for one preview. Before connecting accounts or making a daily routine, ask what it can access and what it needs permission to do. - **What we have not tested:** Bot Cabinet has not tested this with an Instinct account, confirmed its price, made a printable file or tested automatic printing. - **Source:** [Instinct provider page](https://instinct.com/) - **Setup guide:** https://botcabinet.com/guides/morning-newspaper-across-agents/ ### Another agent or emerging tool — Use with another service - **How it could work:** Take the job description to any AI service that can read the information you choose, make a short document and wait for your approval before delivery. - **Start here:** Test it with made-up information. Check what it can read, whether it can run on a schedule, save a file, protect private data, control costs, report errors and stop cleanly. - **What we have not tested:** This setup has not been tested in other services. Check the sample edition and each account connection before adding a schedule or delivery. - **Setup guide:** https://botcabinet.com/guides/morning-newspaper-across-agents/ ## Hermes Desktop setup 1. Open the linked Bot's page, download its .tar.gz profile, and import it from the Profiles screen in Hermes Desktop. 2. Review the profile's SOUL.md, Bot Passport, and requested access. 3. Run the complete request in that Bot's chat with low-risk material and review the result. 4. Add a schedule, outside connection, or optional specialist only after the manual version works.
