Find the story across your reading list, save a briefing you can run again, and reach RSSum through Siri and Shortcuts. Six ways to get started on Mac, iPad and iPhone.
App Intents make RSSum actions available to Siri and the Shortcuts app. You can speak a request, pick an RSSum action in a shortcut, or combine it with other actions. Summaries and answers use the AI provider you select in RSSum.
Open an article in RSSum, then ask Siri:
“Summarize this article in RSSum.”
For a question about that article, say:
“Ask RSSum about this article.”
When Siri asks for your question, try “What does this announcement mean for existing customers?” RSSum uses the article you have open as the context. Siri can speak a concise reply; the Shortcuts action returns the full text for your next action.
Get today’s summary without opening articles one by one:
“What’s new today in RSSum?”
Or catch up on a single subscription:
“Catch up on MacRumors in RSSum.”
Replace MacRumors with the name of a feed you follow. These actions reach RSSum’s existing today and feed summaries, using your selected AI provider.
Open Ask My Feeds from the toolbar, or say “Ask my feeds in RSSum” and give Siri your question. Try:
“What did my feeds report about Apple Intelligence this week?”
“Summarize the OpenAI announcements today.”
“What are the main concerns about these new AI models?”
Answers include numbered sources. Tap a source card to open the supporting article and check what it says. In the app, narrow your question to a feed, choose Today, This Week or All Time, and filter for unread articles or favorites.
The answer depends on the RSS articles already loaded in your library and the filters you choose. Refresh your feeds first. Use All Time when you want to include older articles.
“Agentic” means the selected AI model can decide what to look up before it answers. It can search your loaded articles, read relevant ones, refine its search and gather more evidence across several steps.
“Search for OpenAI, read two relevant articles, compare what they say, and cite both.”
Find relevant articles in your selected feeds and date range.
Read article text, then look for more evidence when needed.
Write an answer with numbered references to the articles used.
Multi-step agents are available through these native provider options in RSSum Settings:
Other providers, including other local models and Web AI, use the search-and-answer path: RSSum finds relevant loaded articles and asks your selected provider to answer from that evidence. The native Gemini API and ChatGPT Plan options are separate from choosing those services inside Web AI.
RSSum works within your selected model’s context limit. Larger models can use more article text. The agent’s tools are read-only: they search and read your loaded RSS library while keeping your feed, date, unread and favorite filters in place.
With a cloud provider, the question and article evidence needed for the answer are sent to that provider. Read about privacy in RSSum.
In Ask My Feeds → Briefings, create a briefing that remembers the feeds, time window, style and question you want to use. For example:
Then run that saved briefing through Siri:
“Run Morning Tech in RSSum.”
You can choose Today or This week instead, and use Short or Detailed for a different style. Save a question for a particular interest, such as product announcements, research or changes affecting your work.
In Shortcuts, combine Run Briefing → Speak Text, passing the briefing’s result into Speak Text. On iPhone or iPad, you can add that shortcut to a time-of-day personal automation.
AI actions may open RSSum to run. Keep the selected provider ready; cloud providers need an internet connection and the appropriate account or API key.
Open Settings → Manage Topic Alerts and enter topics such as Apple Intelligence, OpenAI. Pick the feeds to watch, turn on Notify about new matches, and allow notifications when asked.
Matching new articles can generate a notification. Open it to see the matching list in RSSum.
Topic alerts use literal keywords. Commas separate alternatives; every word in an alternative must appear in the article. Alerts are evaluated when feeds refresh.
Search for recent articles, favorites and feed names from your device’s Spotlight search. Choose a result to open it in RSSum. You can control article indexing with Show articles in Spotlight in Settings.
Load your feeds, select an AI provider and open Ask My Feeds. Your reading list is the starting point.
