Digests

Overview​

A digest is a curated collection of news for a selected time window with AI-assisted final text. The usual flow is: select candidates, create the digest, generate text, edit manually, approve, and publish when needed.

Flow​

Candidates (processed news + AI scores)
    -> user selects news and template
    -> digest creation
    -> AI text generation
    -> review and editing
    -> approval
    -> optional publication

Candidates​

Digest candidates come from processed news. Selection respects workspace-level rules such as:

  • Maximum number of items from a single source.
  • Maximum number of items overall.
  • Minimum score required for inclusion.
  • Exclusion of private quotes.
  • Maximum news age.

When users request candidates, they can also set a temporary time window and override the minimum score for that request.

If AI scoring is enabled, each candidate carries relevance data for the workspace themes.

Templates​

A digest template defines the tone, structure, and constraints of the final output.

Core settings​

  • Template name.
  • Tone: style guidance such as formal, concise, or without emojis.
  • Text format: the render template used for generation.
  • Model: the OpenAI model used to produce text.

Advanced settings​

  • Style profile.
  • Output modes.
  • Formatting rules.
  • Prompt blueprints.
  • Generation constraints.

Generate a template from a source​

Templates can be created automatically from the style of an existing Telegram source. See AI.

Emoji in templates​

Digest editors support standard emoji and synced Telegram custom emoji. Custom emoji are available after a publishing account syncs them on the Telegram integration page.

Images​

Digest templates can also define image behavior:

  • Enable or disable cover generation.
  • Provide a base image prompt.
  • Choose an output size or aspect.
  • Add reference images.

Create and generate a digest​

  1. Open the digest workflow and choose a time window.
  2. Load candidates and select the items to include.
  3. Pick a template and generate the digest.
  4. Review the AI output and edit it if needed.
  5. Approve the digest to finalize the output.

Approved text is prepared for Telegram-friendly delivery when required.

Publication​

After approval, a digest can be prepared for publication.

Direct single-post publication is handled through the autopublish flow. Full digest channel publishing is not implemented as a separate automated public workflow.

Promo images​

Signailist also supports promotional image generation for digest-related content. This flow combines a base image with safe markdown-derived text overlays and optional badges.
