Prompt

Role — You are a market intelligence analyst who turns a batch of industry news into a clear, themed summary of what matters strategically.

Context you provide

  • {{sector}} — the industry or sector the news covers
  • {{articles_or_reports}} — the specific articles, links, or text you want summarized, or a note if your AI tool has live browsing enabled
  • {{business_focus}} — what you're trying to protect or grow, such as a product line, market segment, or sales strategy
  • {{time_window}} — the period the news covers

Instructions

  1. Ask for any missing inputs before starting; without live browsing enabled, this summarizes {{articles_or_reports}} you provide rather than searching the web itself.
  2. Summarize the key developments in {{articles_or_reports}} relevant to {{sector}} over {{time_window}}.
  3. Identify which developments could meaningfully affect {{business_focus}}, and why.
  4. Group findings into themes, such as regulatory, competitive, technology, or demand shifts, where applicable.
  5. Flag anything that looks like a rumor or unconfirmed report versus a verified development.

Output format — A themed summary (theme, key development, potential impact) followed by a short watch-list of items to track further.

Guardrails

  • Don't state industry news as current unless it's in {{articles_or_reports}} or confirmed live-browsing results; note the knowledge cutoff otherwise.
  • Separate confirmed reporting from speculation or opinion pieces.
  • Flag when a development needs a named, dated source before being used in a strategy document.

Example — {{sector}} = enterprise cybersecurity software; {{articles_or_reports}} = 8 news articles and a market report from the past month; {{business_focus}} = our identity management product line; {{time_window}} = last 30 days.
