A tournament like the World Cup changes every single day: new results, group standings shifting, breakout players, and a fresh set of fixtures every morning. Keeping up usually means scrubbing through highlights and recaps yourself.
With a Jellypod automation, you set it up once and a new recap episode is waiting for you every morning. The same agent that powers chat generation researches yesterday's matches, writes the script, and produces the audio while you sleep. This is the classic news-recap shape of an automation, pointed at one event.
A concrete example
You want a short episode every morning during the tournament that covers the previous day's matches: scores, the moments that decided each game, any standings that moved, and a quick look at the fixtures coming up that day. You do not want to touch the Studio once the tournament starts.
You configure that once as an automation, leave Web Search on so the agent pulls the latest results, and let it run for the length of the tournament.
The workflow
- Pick or create the podcast
Use an existing show or create a new one for your tournament coverage. The automation inherits that podcast's hosts and voices, so set up the lineup you want commentating before you start. A two-host format works well for back-and-forth match analysis.
- Open Automations and create a new one
In the Studio, click Automations in the sidebar, then New Automation. Choose the podcast each episode should post to.
- Write the prompt
The prompt is what every run covers. Keep it specific so each daily episode stays on format, for example:
Recap the previous day of 2026 FIFA World Cup matches. For each game, give the final score and the key moments that decided it. Note any major upsets, standout individual performances, and how the group standings or knockout bracket changed. End with a short preview of today's fixtures and the storylines to watch. - Set the schedule and turn on Web Search
Set the automation to run daily, choose a morning Time and your Timezone, and pick an Episode length that fits a recap (a shorter preset keeps it tight). Leave Web Search on so the agent pulls the latest results before writing. The preview shows your upcoming runs.
- Choose draft or auto-publish, then create
Leave Auto-Publish off if you want to skim each recap before it ships, or turn it on to publish straight to your feed every morning. Click Create Automation and you are done for the tournament.
What each run does
Every morning at your scheduled time, Jellypod generates the episode in the background and emails you when the draft is ready (or when it goes live, with Auto-Publish on). If a run fails, you get the reason and it retries on the next run. You can pause, resume, or edit the prompt from the Automations page any time, so it is easy to switch the prompt from group-stage recaps to knockout-round coverage as the tournament progresses.
Other events this works for
The same setup tracks anything that updates on a daily or weekly rhythm:
- A morning recap of an ongoing tournament, league season, or playoff series.
- A weekly roundup of a sport's transfer news or standings.
- A daily brief on a conference or awards season while it is happening.
- An end-of-week digest of any beat you follow closely.
The point is that you describe the format once and the content keeps itself current. For the full configuration reference, see the Automations guide.
