2. 2-3 targeted searches (e.g., "LLM research", "AI startup funding")
3. One company-specific search if relevant (e.g., "OpenAI announcement")

Time-Based Filtering

• Daily briefing: Use "today" or "yesterday" in queries
• Weekly summary: Search "AI news this week" or "latest AI developments"
• Trending topics: Search "AI trends 2025" or current month/quarter

Source Quality Indicators

Prioritize results from:

• Official company blogs and research pages
• Peer-reviewed publications (arXiv, Nature, Science)
• Major tech news outlets (TechCrunch, The Verge, Wired)
• Industry analysts (Gartner, IDC, CB Insights)

Output Formatting

5-10 bullet points with:

• Headline
• 1-2 sentence summary
• Source and date
• Link

Example:

• OpenAI Launches GPT-5
  Major performance improvements in reasoning and coding. Announced via company blog today.
  [Link to announcement]

Detailed Format

For each story:

• Full headline
• 2-3 paragraph summary
• Key implications or significance

Customization Options

User Preferences

Ask users about:

• Focus areas: "Which AI topics interest you most? (e.g., LLMs, computer vision, robotics)"
• Update frequency: "How often would you like updates? (daily, weekly)"
• Detail level: "Do you prefer brief headlines or detailed summaries?"
• Sources: "Any specific sources you want included or excluded?"

Filters

• Exclude specific companies or topics
• Focus on open-source projects only
• Academic research only vs. industry news only
• Specific geographic regions (US, China, EU AI news)

Error Handling

No Recent Results

If searches return limited recent content:

1. Expand time window to last 3-7 days
2. Broaden search terms
3. Note the date of latest available information
4. Suggest alternative search angles

Low Quality Results

If results lack authoritative sources:

1. Re-search with "site:" operators for trusted domains
2. Look for original sources vs. aggregators
3. Cross-reference multiple sources
4. Flag uncertainty to user

Best Practices

1. Always verify dates - AI news sites often have outdated content ranked highly
2. Prioritize original sources - Go to company blogs, not third-party summaries
3. Note information currency - Tell users when content is from (today, this week, etc.)
4. Provide context - Explain why a development matters
5. Include links - Always give users access to full articles
6. Avoid speculation - Stick to announced facts, not rumors
7. Cite sources clearly - Maintain attribution for all information
