# Produce a Short Audio Briefing From This Week's News

> Use Monid to research, script, and narrate a short weekly audio briefing with citations and cost reporting.

Give your agent a market, topics, and budget. It uses Monid to gather original sources, write a compact script, and generate narration only after you approve the plan.

<Tip>
  **Example question:** Can my agent make a three-minute audio briefing about this week's ecommerce news?
</Tip>

## Try it yourself (give it to your agent)

```text Prompt theme={null}
Use Monid to make a three-minute audio briefing about the most useful ecommerce developments from the last seven days.

Ask which market I work in, which topics matter most, the language, and whether I prefer a formal or conversational delivery. My total research-and-audio budget is $2. Inspect current search and speech-generation prices before paid calls.

Find original sources, remove syndicated duplicates, and select three stories with practical implications for a small online retailer. Write a concise script with source links and distinguish reported facts from your interpretation.

Show me the script, proposed permitted stock voice, and estimated audio cost before generating. After approval, create the narration and return the MP3, script, citations, voice/model settings, actual spend, and link-expiry information. Do not imitate a person without authorization, distribute the recording, or schedule recurring briefings.
```

## Potential tools

* [**TinyFish**](https://monid.ai/tools/tinyfish): `/search` and `/fetch` provide current-source research.
* [**Exa**](https://monid.ai/tools/exa): `/search` and `/contents` are an alternative for source research.
* [**ElevenLabs**](https://monid.ai/tools/elevenlabs): `/text-to-speech` generates narration after script approval.

The agent selects stories and writes the briefing.
