RSS News Digest Agent with OpenCode

OpenCode is model-agnostic, and a news digest is the clearest case for spending that flexibility: the job is mostly reading and arranging, with one sentence of summary per item. A mid-size model usually clears that bar comfortably. If your feeds are technical enough that the one-line takes come out wrong, you change the model and keep everything else.

Live demo

Watch it work before it's live

Run a staged conversation — no account needed. The agent handles it for real while a simulated world answers its tool calls; nothing touches real accounts, and nothing is actually sent.

Morning tick, Tuesday 07:30

Morning scheduleevery day at 07:30

The 07:30 tick fires. Overnight the eight feeds returned 61 new items. Three cover the same EU battery subsidy decision, from Reuters, Sifted, and a trade blog. Two are funding rounds, a Nairobi logistics startup at 14 million dollars and a Rotterdam port software company at 3.2 million euros. The rest are product announcements, two conference agendas, and an obituary.

What you'll need

Set up in minutes

Using this template drops you into a guided setup. It asks exactly this, nothing else:

  1. Connect RSS

    One sign-in. The agent acts through your account, scoped to what this template uses.

  2. Connect Slack

    One sign-in. The agent acts through your account, scoped to what this template uses.

  3. Feeds list

    The feeds you want read every morning, one per line, as feed addresses or plain site addresses the agent can find the feed for. Give each a short label so the digest names sources the way your team already does.

  4. Digest style

    How the digest should read: how many stories you want, which themes matter to you, how long a line should be, whether you want plain summaries or your own angle, and what is never worth including.

  5. Runs on OpenCode

    Preselected for this page — connect your OpenCode account during setup, or switch to NoClick's built-in models with one click.

  6. Watch it handle a test run

    A staged conversation against a simulated world — then it’s live.

A considered pairing

Why OpenCode for this agent

Summaries are the only cost

Everything except the one-sentence takes is parsing and formatting. Model strength shows up in one place, which makes tuning easy to judge.

Feeds change, wiring does not

Adding or dropping a feed is a variable edit and changing the model is a field. Neither touches your Slack connection.

Good to know

Before you fork

Will a smaller model invent what an article says?

That is the risk, and it is the exact behaviour the template forbids, since a take states what the item says and stops. Customer In The News is the sharpest test, because three feeds carry the same story and a fourth carries a bare headline. If the output writes a confident summary for the headline-only item, the model is too small for this job.
