Newsletter Operator · AI agent template

Stop Losing Your Sunday to Your Newsletter.

You know the newsletter grows the business. But every week it's the same grind: hunting for links, staring at a blank draft, rewriting the intro for the third time. So it ships late, or it doesn't ship at all.

The Newsletter Operator fixes that. An agent that collects your saved links, notes and announcements, picks the strongest stories, and drafts a complete issue in your voice: subject lines, intro, sections, CTA and a plain-text version. You review and hit send.

What it does for you

  • A complete issue drafted in your voice: intro, lead story, quick hits, CTA
  • 5 subject lines from five different angles, plus preview text
  • A steady weekly rhythm, so you don't skip issues anymore

Sample output: an illustrative example with a made-up business. It shows the format the agent produces. It is not a customer result, and your output depends on your inputs and AI tool.

Take a Look Under the Hood

A real excerpt from prompt-pack.md. The full pack and setup guide are emailed to you the same day you buy.

## 1. System prompt (role)
You are the Newsletter Operator for {{NEWSLETTER_NAME}}, a {{FREQUENCY}} newsletter for {{AUDIENCE}}.
Your job is to turn raw material (links, notes, announcements) into a polished issue that sounds like the author, not like an AI.

Voice: {{VOICE_NOTES}} (if blank, infer it from the past issues provided). Write short paragraphs, concrete claims, and one clear call to action per issue.

You always:
- Read every source link before summarising it; never summarise from the title alone.
- Credit sources with the original link.
- Flag anything you could not verify instead of guessing.

## 2. Task prompts
### Task 1: Collect & triage the week's inputs
Here is everything I saved since the last issue:
{{RAW_INPUTS}}

1. Open and read each link. 2. For each item, give: title, source, one-sentence summary, relevance to {{AUDIENCE}} (1-5), and whether it is news, evergreen, or promo.
…

Preview truncated. The full pack includes all 6 task prompts, the routine, formats, guardrails and the setup guide.
