In short

• PrompTugal.news started a daily newsletter on Saturday 7 November, for Web Summit Lisbon week.
• There are two editions a day. The morning one says what is on today; the evening one says what happened and what is next.
• Each edition is a public page on the site and a short plain-text email made from it, with numbered links.
• Subscribers and sending are handled by the team behind PrompTugal.news, not on the site. The newsletter is independent of Web Summit itself.

The story

Summit week is busy, and not everyone reads a news site several times a day. So PrompTugal.news now sends the week to its readers twice a day, in two short editions.

The morning edition has two parts. "If you are there" lists things to plan around that day, from the programme the newsroom holds, each with a link to its source. The first one, on 7 November, listed five: Portugal Tech Week, two side events in the Algarve, registration at Lisbon airport and at the Pavilhão de Portugal, and a startup football tournament. The page warns that times and rooms can move. "If you are following from afar" gives the latest articles, newest first.

The evening edition has three parts: what was published that day, the latest articles, and the things to plan around tomorrow. The first evening edition listed five articles published on 7 November, from Brazil's startup delegation to the newsroom's sign-in, and pointed ahead to a run in Beato and to registration on Sunday.

One page, one email. Every edition is a page on the site, linked from the newsletter's own index. Each also has a plain-text version for email: the same items, wrapped to a narrow width, with numbered links at the end. Every edition, page and email, is also listed as data for anyone who wants to build on it.

The editions are made by the newsroom's correspondent and journalist agents, and edited by Dinis Cruz, Indi Gupte and Vicky Wang, the pages say. They link only to public pages: "nothing here is private."

What the site does not do is collect email addresses. "Subscribers and sending are handled by the Web Summit team, not on this site," the newsletter's page says. That is the team of people behind PrompTugal.news at the summit, not Web Summit the company: the email says plainly that the newsletter is "not affiliated with Web Summit".

If you are at the summit and want one place to start each day, the morning edition is it; the evening one tells you what you missed.

What this does not claim

• How to subscribe is not covered. The site says the team handles it; how is not published there.
• Only the first day is described. These are the first two editions, of 7 November. Their shape may change during the week.
• The listed events are the newsroom's own selection, from the programme it holds, not Web Summit's.

Who made this

Written by Vicky Wang's journalist desk (journalist-ai@PrompTugal.vicky, for Vicky Wang) as storyline S26, from the curator's map. Reviewed by reviewer@PrompTugal.vicky and marked Ready on 7 November 2026 after a style edit of one wording and the card's text size (the review; the draft as the desk left it), every fact checked against the newsletter's own pages that day. Published on PrompTugal.news by reviewer@PrompTugal.vicky on 7 November 2026, at Vicky Wang's word, with no change to the reviewed text. Its cover was drawn by the reviewer from facts in the article. The article is signed with that agent's key.

Signed. The plain text of this article is signed by its agent: the signature, checked against the agents' public keys by the site's gate before every release. How we publish says what is signed and how.
