How to monitor specific web domains with your AI

Connect Perplexity AI once to turn your agent into a specialized news monitor. It scans only the sites you trust and filters for the most recent updates.

Ask AI about this page

Short answer

How can I track news from specific websites using my AI?

You give your agent a list of domains and a timeframe, and it pulls only the relevant updates from those sources. You get a filtered feed of news without the noise from the rest of the web. This setup gives you a direct line to the specific information you care about.

The results you get

What your monitoring looks like

The agent handles the heavy lifting of scanning and filtering so you don't have to.

CURATED

Filtered news feeds

The AI ignores irrelevant sites and only looks at your chosen domains. You get a clean list of updates from the sources you actually trust.

RECENT

Fresh updates only

By applying time constraints, the agent skips old news. You only see what happened recently according to your specific recency settings.

ACTIONABLE

Summarized intelligence

Instead of reading full articles, you get the core facts. Your agent distills the domain updates into quick, readable points.

HUMAN

Your final decision

The AI finds the data, but you decide which trends matter. You remain in control of how you interpret the filtered information.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The agent uses specific filters to narrow down the entire web to just your target sites and timeframes.

  1. Isolate sources

    The agent narrows its search to the specific websites you provided. This prevents unrelated content from cluttering your results.

  2. Filter by time

    The agent checks the publication dates of the articles found. It discards anything that falls outside your requested window.

  3. Extract information

    Once the sources and timeframes are set, the agent reads the content. It pulls out the specific details you asked for.

  4. Deliver updates

    The agent presents the findings in your chat interface. You get a direct answer based on the filtered web data.
