Workflow Overview

This skill uses a 4-phase workflow to gather, filter, categorize, and present AI news:

Phase 1: Information Gathering
  ├─ Direct website fetching (3-5 major AI news sites)
  └─ Web search with date filters
      ↓
Phase 2: Content Filtering
  ├─ Keep: Last 24-48 hours, major announcements
  └─ Remove: Duplicates, minor updates, old content
      ↓
Phase 3: Categorization
  └─ Organize into 5 categories
      ↓
Phase 4: Output Formatting
  └─ Present with links and structure

Phase 1: Information Gathering

Step 1.1: Fetch from Primary AI News Sources

Use mcp__web_reader__webReader to fetch content from 3-5 major AI news websites:

Recommended Primary Sources (choose 3-5 per session):

VentureBeat AI: https://venturebeat.com/category/ai/
TechCrunch AI: https://techcrunch.com/category/artificial-intelligence/
The Verge AI: https://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence
MIT Technology Review AI: https://www.technologyreview.com/topic/artificial-intelligence/
AI News: https://artificialintelligence-news.com/
AI Hub Today: https://ai.hubtoday.app/

Parameters:

return_format: markdown
with_images_summary: false (focus on text content)
timeout: 20 seconds per source

Step 1.2: Execute Web Search Queries

Use WebSearch with date-filtered queries to discover additional news:

Query Template (adjust dates dynamically):

General: "AI news today" OR "artificial intelligence breakthrough" after:[2025-12-23]
Research: "AI research paper" OR "machine learning breakthrough" after:[2025-12-23]
Industry: "AI startup funding" OR "AI company news" after:[2025-12-23]
Products: "AI application launch" OR "new AI tool" after:[2025-12-23]

Best Practices:

Always use current date or yesterday’s date in filters
Execute 2-3 queries across different categories
Limit to top 10-15 results per query
Prioritize sources from last 24-48 hours

Step 1.3: Fetch Full Articles

For the top 10-15 most relevant stories from search results:

Extract URLs from search results
Use mcp__web_reader__webReader to fetch full article content
This ensures accurate summarization vs. just using snippets

Phase 2: Content Filtering

Filter Criteria

Keep:

News from last 24-48 hours (preferably today)
Major announcements (product launches, model releases, research breakthroughs)
Industry developments (funding, partnerships, regulations, acquisitions)
Technical advances (new models, techniques, benchmarks)
Significant company updates (OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, etc.)

Remove:

Duplicate stories (same news across multiple sources)
Minor updates or marketing fluff
Content older than 3 days unless highly significant
Non-AI content or tangentially related articles

Deduplication Strategy

When the same story appears in multiple sources:

Keep the most comprehensive version
Note alternative sources in the summary
Prioritize authoritative sources (company blogs > news aggregators)

Phase 3: Categorization

Organize news into 5 categories:

🔥 Major Announcements

Product launches (new AI tools, services, features)
Model releases (GPT updates, Claude features, Gemini capabilities)
Major company announcements (OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, Microsoft, Meta)

🔬 Research & Papers

Academic breakthroughs
New research papers from top conferences
Novel techniques or methodologies
Benchmark achievements

💰 Industry & Business

Funding rounds and investments
Mergers and acquisitions
Partnerships and collaborations
Market trends and analysis

🛠️ Tools & Applications

New AI tools and frameworks
Practical AI applications
Open source releases
Developer resources

🌍 Policy & Ethics

AI regulations and policies
Safety and ethics discussions
Social impact studies
Government initiatives

Phase 4: Output Formatting

Use the following template for consistent output:
