PERSONALIZED AND OPTIMALLY-SIZED BRIEFING MESSAGES

Technology is disclosed to programmatically generate a briefing message that is relevant, optimally-sized, and easy for a user to consume. The briefing message is generated with target briefing items organized based on a user-specific headline and user-specific body of the briefing message. The briefing message is generated based on a determination, from candidate briefing items and corresponding scores, of at least one target briefing item to be included in the body and the headline of a briefing message. In this manner, such technologies improve the user's experience and reduce computational resources and bandwidth associated with a larger volume of content being generated and communicated to a user for presentation, especially during times of high user computer traffic. The briefing content items are generated during times of the day with lower user activity and less computational resource consumption.
