Sports news briefing for only the teams you follow
Sports apps bury your team under every league on earth, and you still miss the injury update before the weekend. With this prompt your todo.is agent checks results and news for just your teams and players, writes a short briefing with scores, injuries, transfer rumors marked as rumors, and what's on next, and sends it on your schedule.
The prompt
- Send me a sports news briefing every day at [TIME] on [WHERE TO SEND IT]. Follow these teams and players: [TEAMS AND PLAYERS]. Include: yesterday's results with the score and one line on what happened, injury and suspension news, confirmed transfers or signings, rumors clearly labeled as rumors with the source, and the next fixture for each team with the kickoff time in [MY TIME ZONE]. Keep it under [LENGTH]. If my team plays today, put that first. On game days, also send the final score [AFTER-GAME UPDATE]. Use reliable sports news sources and link them. No betting odds.
What to change
- [TIME]: e.g. "7:30".
- [WHERE TO SEND IT]: WhatsApp, Telegram, email, Slack or Discord.
- [TEAMS AND PLAYERS]: e.g. "Arsenal, Boston Celtics, Chicago Cubs and Carlos Alcaraz".
- [MY TIME ZONE]: e.g. "London time" or "US Eastern".
- [LENGTH]: e.g. "200 words" or "10 bullet points".
- [AFTER-GAME UPDATE]: e.g. "about 2 hours after kickoff", or write "no".

How to do it with todo.is

Tips for a better result
- Ask for kickoff times in your time zone. It's the detail people get wrong most.
- Keep rumors labeled with a source. Transfer gossip spreads fast and often isn't true.
- Add a weekly round-up on Mondays with league tables if daily is too much.
- Each daily run uses a few AI credits, so pick only the teams you really follow.
