## Prompt

```text
Turn the items below into a briefing on the latest developments in my field.

**My field and focus:** [e.g. "edge AI for robotics", "payments regulation in the EU"]
**My role and current projects:** [what I'm working on, so relevance can be judged]
**Topics I track most closely:** [3-6 priority areas]
**Items for this period:** [PASTE headlines, abstracts, release notes, or articles with their source links and dates]
**Period covered:** [e.g. week of ...]
**Length:** [e.g. readable in 5 minutes]

Build the briefing:
1. **Top developments** (up to 8) - for each: headline, source, a 2-3 sentence plain summary, relevance score 1-5 to my work with a one-line reason, and one concrete action or implication for me.
2. **Deep dive** (1-3 items) - the most important technical or strategic item explained in more depth: what changed, how it works, limitations, and what it would take to apply it.
3. **Watch list** - early signals worth tracking but not acting on yet.
4. **Ignore list** - items that look important but don't matter for my focus, with a short reason.
5. **Questions to investigate** before the next briefing.

Rules:
- Use only the items I provide; do not add news, papers, or numbers from memory.
- Keep each item's source link with it. If a claim in an item is unverified or comes from a press release, say so.
- Separate what the source says from your interpretation.
