Where updates land.

The outcomes of your news feed monitoring.

Your agent turns raw feed data into actionable information.

SUMMARY

Daily news digests

The AI reads the latest entries and writes a concise summary of everything that happened. You get a single briefing instead of dozens of tabs.

ALERT

Instant topic alerts

The agent watches for specific keywords in new posts. It flags only the news that actually matters to your work.

RESEARCH

Deep dive reports

When a major story breaks, your agent pulls the full text from the feed. It organizes the details into a structured report for you.

HUMAN

Manual review needed

The AI identifies high-priority updates that require your direct attention. It presents these clearly so you can decide how to respond.

The workflow

What your AI does when news is published.

FAQ

How the news monitoring works.

  • 01

    Can the AI post updates to my Slack or Discord?

    No. This connector only reads data from feeds. You must use a different connector to send messages to other apps.

  • 02

    Does the AI automatically subscribe to new feeds for me?

    No. You must provide the specific RSS or Atom URLs you want the agent to monitor.

  • 03

    Can it read news from websites that don't have a feed?

    No. The agent is limited to reading data from valid RSS or Atom feed endpoints.

  • 04

    Will it delete old news from my feed?

    No. The agent only reads the content. It has no ability to modify or delete data from the original news source.

  • 05
