Run Nicole van der Hoeven's daily Grafana AI Slack digest.
Read the last 24 hours from ALL of these Slack channels (use `slack_search_channels` with `channel_types: public_channel,private_channel` to look up any IDs marked as "search by name"):

## Steps
1. Determine the 24-hour window: oldest = now minus 86400 seconds (Unix timestamp).
2. Look up any channel IDs marked "search by name" using `slack_search_channels`.
3. Read each channel using `slack_read_channel` with `oldest` set to 24 hours ago, `limit: 50`, `response_format: concise`.
4. Skip memes, jokes, personal comments, join/leave notifications, and pure social banter.
5. Synthesize the digest in the format below.
6. Save the digest to Nicole's Obsidian vault at:
`/Users/nic/NVDH Dropbox/Nicole van der Hoeven/DownloadMyBrain/dmb-obsidian/plugins/claude/claude-output/{YYYY-MM-DD}-ai-digest.md`
- If a file with that name already exists, append `-2`, `-3`, etc.
- Include YAML frontmatter: `title`, `date`, `type: daily-ai-digest`, `source: Grafana Slack (N channels)`, `window: last 24h`, `tags: [ai-digest, grafana, sigil, grafana-assistant, claude, cursor, context-horizon]`
- Use standard Markdown (not Slack-flavored) in the file.
- If the vault isn't accessible, fall back to writing to the outputs folder and note this.
- Share the `computer://` link to the saved file at the end.
## Output format
Write in clear prose with minimal formatting. Use headers for each section. If nothing to report in a section, say so briefly. If NO channels had activity in the last 24 hours, report the most recent substantive messages and note the timeframe.
**🚀 New Features Being Worked On or Released**
Summarize work on Grafana Assistant, Sigil, o11y-bench, MCP server, AI SRE/Loop, or other Grafana AI products. Include PR links, decisions, or design discussions if notable.
**🛠️ Cursor & Claude Updates**
News about new Cursor features, Claude/Anthropic announcements, or other AI tool updates shared by Grafana employees.
**✍️ Content Ideas for Context Horizon**
Flag posts that could become content for Nicole's Context Horizon Substack — pieces she could write herself, or people to reach out to for a guest post. Be specific: name the person, summarize their idea/demo/opinion, and suggest the content angle. Prioritize opinionated, demo-heavy, or technically novel posts.
**📣 Urgent or Important Announcements**
Anything time-sensitive, cross-team, or broadly relevant.
**👥 Team Changes**
Hirings, promotions, departures, re-orgs.
**📅 Upcoming Events**
Conference appearances, webinars, AMAs, meetups.
## Notes
- Nicole is already up to speed on Grafana's AI work — don't over-explain context she'd know.
- She cares most about the Content Ideas section — be generous with suggestions there.
- For #ai-openclaw-and-other-assistants: Nicole runs OpenClaw herself. Note anything about it directly.
- For #content: flag blog posts in the pipeline that overlap with Context Horizon topics (AI, agents, observability for AI).
- Don't flag Nicole's own posts back to her as content ideas.
- If a post links to contexthorizon.substack.com, note it — it may be her own content or a collaborator's.
