Actually ran the bundled fetcher live against news.smol.ai: got a real dated RSS entry (2026-07-14 issue, 675 entries in the feed) with sourced links and quotes, something the baseline (answer from memory, no tool) simply can't produce for 'yesterday's news' without either refusing or risking stale/fabricated content. Needs a one-time `pip install feedparser requests` the SKILL.md discloses but a fresh environment won't have.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 5/5
- Triggers reliably 5/5
- Output vs. baseline 9/10
- Docs & honesty 5/5
What AI Daily does
Pulls AI industry news from the smol.ai RSS feed via a bundled Python script (date-range, relative-date, or absolute-date queries) and formats results into a fixed Chinese markdown template, with optional themed-HTML export. Triggers on requests for AI news, daily tech updates, or a specific date's AI digest.
