B*tchwork my AI Did for Me - Part 12: I Built an AI That Posts Breaking AI News Before I Even See the Headline
I do not watch the news. A little robot I built watches it for me every five minutes, writes the post, makes the graphic, and puts it up before most people have even seen the story.
A big AI headline dropped last week.
I was not at my desk. I was not on my phone. I did not even know it had happened yet.
Five minutes later, there was already a clean post about it on one of my accounts. Dark background. Big white headline. The kind of post that gets saved and shared.
I did not write it. I did not design it. I did not press a single button.
My AI saw the story, decided it mattered, wrote it in my voice, made the graphic, and posted it. On a faceless news account I run where my face never shows.
Here is the part that still feels unfair. News is a speed game. The first account to post a story gets the saves, the shares, and the follows. For years, the only way to win that game was to sit on the feed all day.
A robot does not need to sit on the feed. It checks the news every five minutes, all day, while I do other things.
It can post up to ten times a day. It spaces the posts out, never less than forty-five minutes apart. It watches six big AI news sources. It throws out anything older than three days. And it runs on my Claude subscription, so there is no big bill.
This article is the whole build. The tools, the exact prompts, the templates, and the warnings.
Speed is the whole game in news. A robot wins that game. You cannot.
Who this is for
You want to ride trends, but you cannot sit on the feed all day waiting for news to break.
You keep seeing the same story posted by other accounts six hours before you get to it.
You want a faceless account that posts on its own, without you on camera.
You run a niche page (AI, sports, crypto, beauty, local news) and "post fast" is the whole job.
You have heard the word "automation" a hundred times and still have no idea how to actually set one up.
If that is you, keep reading.
Why you should trust this
I am not guessing at this. I built it, and it runs right now.
I also build my own software. One of my apps, PRISM (prism-app.com), is a content tool I made to write and post for my brands. I run a pile of social accounts, and I have grown one of them past 240,000 followers. I do not say that to brag. I say it so you know this comes from real work, not a theory I read somewhere.
The news robot in this article is a real, running thing. It is faceless on purpose, so I am not going to show you the account name. But I will show you exactly how it is built, because the build is the useful part.
I am not selling a tool. There is no paid tool here. I am giving you the prompts I actually used, in plain language.
What paid subs get below
The free version stops in a minute. Paid subs get all of this:
The exact six news feeds my robot watches, ready to copy.
The PRISM setup, click by click, so a total beginner can do the no-code version today.
The full auto-pilot version: one prompt that builds the whole script that runs every five minutes on its own.
The exact prompt my AI uses to write a news post so it never makes up facts.
The dark "breaking news" template settings that make these posts look pro.
The word-only version for Substack notes, Threads, and X.
The warnings, so your robot never posts something wrong or embarrassing.
Three ways to build it: a no-code version, the real hands-off version, and a light text-only version. You pick.
Paid subs get the full playbook below. Free subs get the headline and the framing.
