Ran a real 'AI news this week' digest with it: the mandatory calendar-date rule automatically dropped a Q2 SpaceX/Cursor $60B acquisition story that a freeform baseline summary kept as if it were fresh, and a reconciliation check caught a secondary aggregator's fabricated-looking 'Harvey AI $200M Series C, July 2026' claim -- Harvey's actual Series C was 2024 and its real latest round was a $200M Growth round at $11B, not $2.1B.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 5/5
- Triggers reliably 5/5
- Output vs. baseline 8/10
- Docs & honesty 4/5
What AI News Fetcher does
Runs a budgeted set of web searches and depth-fetches (≤7 searches, ≤5 fetches) to build a categorized AI-news digest with editor picks, grounded stat cards, and a GitHub-trending-repos section, rendered as a React artifact. Trigger it for 'latest AI news', 'AI recap/digest/roundup', or a stated window like 'AI news this week / last 3 days / past month'.
