├─ Direct website fetching (3-5 major AI news sites)
└─ Web search with date filters
↓

└─ Organize into 5 categories
↓
Phase 4: Output Formatting

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):
Parameters:
return_format: markdownwith_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

- Major announcements (product launches, model releases, research breakthroughs)

Remove:
- Duplicate stories (same news across multiple sources)

- 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:
