openbb-quote AAPL && finance-news news AAPL

- "What's the market doing?"
- "News for my portfolio"
- "Generate morning briefing"
- "What's happening with AAPL?"
With Lobster (Workflow Engine)
Run briefings via Lobster for approval gates and resumability:
# Run with approval before WhatsApp send

# With custom args
lobster "workflows.run --file workflows/briefing.yaml --args-json '{\"time\":\"evening\",\"lang\":\"en\"}'"
