I used to have BBC in my wake-up routine that's triggered when I turn off the alarm, however it's often not working. It'd be nice if I could have Kagi News read some news to help me wake up.
The skill doesn't require much, and Amazon does some of the hosting. I'm not sure how the user would configure it, but reading some World news would be enough for me.
Perhaps commands like "ask kagi news to read the Asia news" and "ask kagi news to read the africa headlines" could be useful. Also nice with some background music like BBC have.
