I Automated My Pre-Market Research With AI (Here’s How)

Prompt 1 — Define the Structure

I want to build a Daily Market Rundown workflow for traders.

The workflow should:
- read morning market research emails
- extract the most important information
- organize it into a structured daily trading briefing

The briefing should prioritize the information traders care about most, including:

- macro context
- economic calendar
- earnings reports
- top movers with catalysts
- broader market themes
- secondary names with fresh news
- week ahead events

Start by defining the ideal structure for this rundown as a clean markdown outline that can be used every day.

Prompt 2 — Generate the Daily Market Rundown

Read the market research emails that arrived in my inbox today between 5:00 AM and 8:30 AM.

Only use information from those emails as the source material.
Do not reference previous rundowns, sent emails, or previously generated summaries.

Using the structure we created earlier, generate today's Daily Market Rundown as a markdown briefing.

Requirements:

- summarize the information rather than quoting emails directly
- extract the most important macro developments
- identify key economic events for the day
- highlight notable earnings reports
- identify the most important stocks in play

For stocks in play:
- focus on names with clear catalysts
- briefly explain why the stock could move today
- prioritize stocks likely to see meaningful intraday volatility

Also include:
- broader market themes
- secondary names with fresh news
- key events later in the week

The output should be a clean markdown briefing that a trader could quickly scan before the open.

Prompt 3 — Create the HTML Dashboard

Using the markdown Daily Market Rundown we just generated, create a simple HTML dashboard that a trader could view in a browser.

Requirements:

- dark theme
- clean layout
- clearly separated sections
- easy to scan quickly before the market open
- preserve the structure of the rundown

The dashboard should allow the trader to quickly read the macro overview, view stocks in play, identify themes, and review upcoming events.

Prompt 4 — Schedule the Workflow

Create a scheduled task for this workflow.

The task should run automatically every weekday morning before the market opens at 8:30 AM.

Each time it runs it should:

1. Read the morning market research emails
2. Generate the Daily Market Rundown markdown briefing
3. Update the existing HTML dashboard

The HTML dashboard should be updated in the same file each day so new rundowns are appended rather than replacing previous ones.

This allows the dashboard to maintain a running archive of daily market briefings that can be reviewed later.

The task should execute automatically without manual input.
