The Daily News Briefing plugin brings AI-curated news summaries into your Obsidian workspace by integrating Google’s Gemini model and custom search APIs. Users can define their own topics of interest, set up a daily schedule, and receive automated news briefings organized by topic with concise or in-depth summaries. Each briefing includes key developments, AI-generated analysis, and source links formatted for readability. The plugin provides fine-tuned control over content quality, source domains, result count, and API usage, while offering both automatic and manual generation modes.

The HackerNews plugin allows users to access and interact with content from Hacker News within Obsidian. It provides the ability to browse top stories, view discussions, and save articles directly into notes for further reference.
