Agentic News

Overview

Agentic News is a news intelligence platform that watches the web for the topics you care about and delivers signal over noise. You create Agents—semantic watchlists for topics, companies, or niche interests—and the platform continuously matches incoming coverage using vector similarity, not keyword spam. Near-identical articles are deduplicated into clean story Clusters backed by multiple sources.

Every match runs through a two-stage editorial filter. A skeptical Devil's-Advocate gate rejects stories that don't actually fit what you asked for; only the survivors get a hook, a brief, and a place in your daily digest. The reasoning behind each pick is visible per story, so you can see why a story made the cut—or didn't.

For accepted stories, role-aware AI Lenses explain what happened and why it matters from the perspective you choose—CEO, engineer, investor, parent. Save important clusters into Collections and use Collection Chat to ask questions across your saved knowledge, with answers that cite back to the underlying sources.

Why we built it

Keyword alerts are noisy, duplicate-ridden, and never explain implications. Agentic News is built to deliver fewer, better alerts—deduplicated coverage with fast, role-aware interpretation and receipts. It's the difference between drowning in headlines and understanding what actually matters to you.

How it works

1. Create Agents for topics, companies, or interests you want to track 2. Incoming articles are deduplicated into story Clusters with multiple sources 3. AI Lenses interpret each cluster from your chosen perspective (factual, simplified, outlook, personal meaning) 4. Optionally monitor company websites for meaningful changes via Company Tracker 5. Save clusters to Collections and ask AI questions across your saved knowledge (with citations) 6. Get daily or weekly email briefings tailored to your timezone and schedule
