ME Featured Events

The problem

Developers and organizers in the AI and Web3 space often miss critical events because they lack a centralized, automated way to monitor conference schedules and new meetups. Manually checking API endpoints or event sites leads to stale information and missed networking opportunities.

What it does

• Polls the ME News API to retrieve upcoming AI and Web3 events based on specific region and type filters.
• Initializes automated subscription states using local JSON storage to track event cursors.
• Sets up dual-track scheduling: a daily summary at 10:00 AM and a high-frequency (5-minute) poll for newly added events.
• Executes a strict delivery-ack loop, ensuring new event notifications are only cleared after successful delivery to the target channel.
• Normalizes event data including timezones, multi-day spans, and HTML-stripped descriptions limited to 50 characters.

Frameworks & tools

Node.js 18+, HTTP/Fetch API, shell execution (curl), and local JSON-based state management.

Why this beats prompting it yourself

A standard LLM prompt cannot maintain an atomic subscription state or handle cursor-based pagination effectively over time. This skill uses deterministic scripts to prevent duplicate notifications and ensures reliable event tracking that persists across sessions, something pure prompting lacks.

Use cases

• Automated daily Slack or Discord briefings for local Web3 developer meetups.
• Real-time monitoring of newly announced AI global conferences for marketing teams.
• Building a customized event calendar for a niche community based on specific regions like Hong Kong or Singapore.

Known limitations

Requires a Node.js 18+ environment to execute local scripts. Subscription persistence depends on the host agent's ability to schedule recurring tasks (Cron/Automation support).
