How to Create an AI Trends Digest for Your Team

## TL;DR How to produce a team AI digest: 5-item weekly format (what/why/source), delivery via Slack or doc, clear ownership, and when to stop. ## Decision in 20 seconds **How to produce a team AI digest: 5-item weekly format (what/why/source), delivery via Slack or doc, clear ownership, and when to stop.** ## Who this is for Builders who want a repeatable, low-noise way to track AI updates and turn them into decisions. ## Key takeaways - Why a team digest - The format - Example entry - Delivery ## Why a team digest Most teams have scattered AI awareness—some people follow it closely, others don't at all. A short weekly digest creates a shared baseline without requiring everyone to monitor independently. ## The format Keep the digest to **5 items maximum**. For each item: - **What:** One sentence describing the launch, update, or trend. - **Why it matters to us:** One sentence on the specific implication for your stack, users, or roadmap. - **Source:** Link to the primary source. That's it. Total length: under 300 words. If it's longer, cut items. ## Example entry > **Anthropic released Claude 3.5 Haiku with a larger context window.** > Why it matters: We're using Claude for document summarization; the new window size may let us process longer inputs without chunking. [Source: Anthropic blog post] ## Delivery Choose one channel and stick to it: - **Slack:** Post to a dedicated `#ai-updates` channel. Don't DM it—people can mute the channel if they want. - **Email:** Weekly digest email, same day and time each week. - **Shared doc:** A running doc with weekly entries in reverse chronological order. Best if your team reads async. ## Ownership One person writes the digest each week. If you want to rotate ownership, establish the rotation in advance and make the format so clear that anyone can produce it in 30 minutes. ## When to stop A digest that nobody reads is worse than no digest—it creates noise. If fewer than half the team engages in a month, stop it or cut the format in half. The digest serves the team; the team doesn't serve the digest. ## Quotable summary Team AI digest: 5 items max, each with what/why/source, delivered to one channel on a fixed cadence by one owner. Stop if engagement drops below 50%. ## Related reading - [RadarAI comparisons](/en/compare) - [RadarAI reviews](/en/reviews) - [Methodology: how RadarAI curates and links sources](/en/methodology) - [More evergreen guides](/en/articles) ## FAQ **Should it include opinions?** Only if they're brief and the primary source is linked. The digest is for decisions, not commentary.
