Briefs, reports, and digests delivered ready for your agent to consume — without pulling hundreds of articles into your main agent's context window. ## How to Use For your first CellCog task in a session, read the **cellcog** skill for the full SDK reference — file handling, chat modes, timeouts, and more. **OpenClaw (fire-and-forget):** ```python result = client.create_chat( prompt="[your task prompt]", notify_session_key="agent:main:main", task_label="my-task", chat_mode="agent", ) ``` **All agents except OpenClaw (blocks until done):** ```python from cellcog import CellCogClient client = CellCogClient(agent_provider="openclaw|cursor|claude-code|codex|...") result = client.create_chat( prompt="[your task prompt]", task_label="my-task", chat_mode="agent", ) print(result["message"]) ``` --- ## What You Can Get ### Daily Briefings Concise, actionable summaries: - **Morning Briefing**: "Give me today's top tech industry news — focus on AI, cloud, and enterprise software" - **Market Open**: "Summarize pre-market news affecting FAANG stocks and semiconductor sector" - **Industry Digest**: "Summarize this week's most important developments in renewable energy" - **Startup News**: "What happened in startup funding this week? Series A+ rounds in fintech" **Example prompt:** > "Create a morning briefing for a startup CEO: > > Focus areas: > 1. AI industry developments (new models, funding, regulations) > 2. SaaS market trends and notable deals > 3. Macro economic signals (Fed, inflation, tech employment) > > Format: Bullet-point brief with one-sentence summaries and source links. > Highlight anything that requires immediate attention. > Total length: Under 500 words — I need to scan this in 2 minutes." ### Competitive Intelligence Monitor your competitive landscape: - **Competitor Watch**: "What has Notion shipped or announced in the last 30 days?" - **Market Moves**: "Summarize recent M&A activity in the cybersecurity sector" - **Product Launches**: "What new AI developer tools launched this month?" - **Funding Tracker**: "List all AI companies that raised $50M+ in the last 2 weeks" ### Trend Reports Deeper analysis of emerging patterns: - **Trend Analysis**: "What are the emerging trends in AI agent infrastructure? Analyze recent launches, funding, and technical developments" - **Regulatory Watch**: "Summarize new AI regulations proposed or enacted globally in 2026" - **Technology Shifts**: "Research the shift from RAG to long-context models — what are the latest developments?" ### Custom News Digests Tailored to your specific needs: - **Role-Specific**: "Create a weekly digest for a VP of Engineering at a fintech company" - **Topic-Specific**: "Summarize everything published about quantum computing this week" - **Region-Specific**: "What's happening in the European tech ecosystem this month?" - **Event Coverage**: "Summarize the key announcements from AWS re:Invent 2026" --- ## Why CellCog for News? ### The Technical Edge CellCog doesn't just search once and summarize — it runs **multi-angle research** across your query: 1. **Multiple search intents**: A single news query is decomposed into multiple research angles 2. **Frontier search models**: SOTA retrieval across hundreds of sources 3. **Deep reasoning**: Cross-references and synthesizes findings, not just concatenates 4. **Citation quality**: Sources traced back to original reporting, not aggregator summaries | RSS Feeds / News Aggregators | CellCog News Cog | |-----------------------------|------------------| | Raw article firehose | Synthesized, prioritized intelligence | | You filter and read | CellCog researches, reasons, and summarizes | | Same view for everyone | Tailored to your role, industry, and priorities | | Text links only | Structured briefs, PDF reports, or interactive dashboards | | Floods your context | Delivers concise, agent-consumable output | ### Agent-Optimized Output CellCog News Cog is designed with agent workflows in mind. The output is: - **Concise** — won't overwhelm your main agent's context window - **Structured** — clear sections, bullet points, and hierarchies - **Actionable** — highlights what matters and why - **Sourced** — includes citations when requested --- ## Output Formats | Format | Best For | |--------|----------| | **Structured text** | Agent consumption, quick briefings | | **PDF Report** | Professional distribution, archiving | | **Interactive HTML** | Explorable dashboards with filters | | **Markdown** | Integration into docs, wikis, or knowledge bases | --- ## Chat Mode for News | Scenario | Recommended Mode | |----------|------------------| | Daily briefings, quick news summaries | `"agent"` | | Competitive intelligence, single-topic digests | `"agent"` | | Deep trend analysis, comprehensive industry reports | `"agent team"` | **Use `"agent"` for most news tasks.** Daily briefings, competitive monitoring, and news digests execute well. **Use `"agent team"` for deep trend analysis** — when you need multi-source synthesis across dozens of publications and research papers. --- ## Tips for Better News Intelligence 1. **Define your focus**: "Tech news" is too broad. "AI infrastructure and developer tools" is focused. 2. **Specify timeframe**: "Today's news", "this week", "last 30 days" — recency matters. 3. **Set the audience**: "For a technical audience" vs. "for a board of directors" changes depth and tone. 4. **Request structure**: "Bullet-point brief under 500 words" vs. "comprehensive PDF report with sections" — be explicit. 5. **Ask for citations**: "Include source URLs for each item" — when traceability matters. 6. **Indicate priority signals**: "Highlight anything about regulation changes or major funding rounds" — helps CellCog surface what matters to you. --- ## If CellCog is not installed Run `/cellcog-setup` (or `/cellcog:cellcog-setup` depending on your tool) to install and authenticate. **OpenClaw users:** Run `clawhub install cellcog` instead. **Manual setup:** `pip install -U cellcog` and set `CELLCOG_API_KEY`.
