Google News to email
Google News digest: a topic briefing, not an endless feed
Add a Google News topic with the gn: preset. Twigest treats it like any other source, so news items are summarised together with the accounts, communities and newsletters you already track.
No card for your preview · Card-required 7-day trial
Topic in one field
gn:your topic adds a Google News source without setup: no API key, no parser to maintain.
News beside your other signals
Press coverage sits next to the practitioners you follow on X, the communities on Reddit and the newsletters in your inbox.
Every item keeps its link
Summaries are a reading aid; the original article link is always there.
Scheduled, not doomscrolling
Pick daily, weekdays or custom days and the time it lands.
How it works
- 1Add the topicOpen Sources and enter gn:your topic. It uses one slot.
- 2Headlines are collectedTwigest reads the topic on its collection cycles with titles, publishers and links.
- 3Context is addedNews items are scored and summarised with the rest of your sources so the briefing reflects why you follow the topic.
- 4Delivered on your scheduleEmail by default; Telegram on Pro.
What it is not
- Headlines are not full articles: the briefing summarises what was collected and links out for the full story.
- Not a live news ticker: coverage arrives with your scheduled briefing.
- Topic scope is the publisher's: what Google News returns for a topic can change day to day.
Questions
How do I get Google News by email?
Open Sources and add gn:your topic. Twigest collects the items and includes them in your scheduled digest.
Can I track several topics?
Yes. Each topic uses one slot, so how many you can add depends on your plan.
Can I combine news with my other sources?
Yes. Google News topics sit alongside X, Reddit, Hacker News, RSS, YouTube and newsletters in the same scheduled briefing: news for context, practitioner posts for what people actually say, newsletters for the long-form view.
Do you store full article text?
No. Twigest keeps the collected item, its summary and the link back to the publisher.
Is this real-time news alerting?
No. It is a scheduled briefing, and it is not built for crisis-level immediacy.
How much does it cost?
Starter is $9/month or $90/year (10 X accounts, 10 feeds, 3 keywords, 3 topics, daily digests). Pro is $19/month or $190/year (30 X accounts, 30 feeds, 10 keywords, 5 topics, plus Telegram delivery). Both include a card-required 7-day trial; new users can see one preview without a card.
