In plain English

daily-research-automations is a small collection of prompt files meant to be used with Claude Cowork, a scheduled task feature, to send you a daily email digest about AI research. The author says they have personally used these workflows for four months to keep up with new papers and the conversations happening around AI, and the repository is meant to be customized to someone else's own interests rather than used as is. The project sets up two separate daily email loops. One reads new AI research papers, matches them against a description of your interests that you write yourself, and emails you three papers it thinks are relevant while avoiding papers it has already sent you before. The other reads AI related discussion from a set of Reddit communities you choose, filters that discussion for what is recent, and sends a short digest email, again avoiding repeating things it already sent. Both loops are just two prompt files stored in a folder, meant to be copied into Claude Code's scheduled task feature. To set it up, you open Claude Code, go to its scheduled tasks section, create a new task, and paste in the contents of one of the two prompt files. You then replace a handful of placeholder tags in that prompt with your own information, such as your name, a written description of your research interests, the email address to send the digest to, and file paths for two small JSON files that the automation uses to remember what it has already sent you, so it does not repeat itself. Both automations need the Gmail tool connected so they can send email, and the Reddit digest additionally needs a Reddit tool connected so it can read posts. The README is upfront that the paper topics and subreddit list included by default reflect the author's own personal interests, and expects you to replace them with your own. It also advises keeping your filled in personal details inside your own private automation setup rather than in a public copy of this repository. The README does not state a license for the project.
