What is a News AI worker?
A news AI worker is an AI agent set up to run the news job unattended, reading the sources you follow, weighing each story against the interests you wrote down, and delivering a short brief with links instead of a full feed. It typically touches web search and page fetch tools such as Firecrawl, and the mailbox or chat channel where the brief is meant to land.
What these workers do
Brief the Hacker News stories you follow
Reads the day's front page and its comment threads, keeps only the stories matching your interests, and sends a few lines on each with a link to the original.
Send a morning industry digest
Sweeps the publications and blogs you name overnight and delivers one brief grouped by topic, so a morning of open tabs becomes a single message.
Watch for mentions of your company
Searches the open web for your company, product, or founders on a schedule and tells you when a new mention appears, with the source and the quote.
Follow one story as it develops
Tracks a named topic across sources over days and reports only what is new since the last brief, instead of restating the background every time.

What stays under your control
News questions, answered.
What sources can a news AI worker read?
Public web pages and search results, limited to the sources you name. A news worker fetches the sites, feeds, and forums on your list the way any visitor would, and it does not sign in to accounts or open paywalled articles. If you want a source added or dropped, you edit the list and the next run follows it.
How is a news worker different from a monitoring worker?
A news worker watches the outside world, a monitoring worker watches systems you own. News covers public stories, industry sites, forums, and press mentions. Monitoring covers your inbox, your repositories, your calendar, and your boards. Kits often pair the two, but the permissions differ: news needs web access, monitoring needs access to your own apps.
How does it decide which stories matter to me?
It follows the interests you write in plain text when you install it. You describe the topics, companies, and technologies you care about, and anything you never want to see, and the worker judges each story against that description. Rewriting those few lines changes the whole brief from the next run onward.
Where does the brief arrive?
Wherever the kit is built to deliver and you approved, usually an inbox or a team chat channel. Delivery is a write permission granted per app, so the worker can post only where you allowed. With no delivery permission granted, the brief still lands in the run report for you to read.
