Nature + New Scientist AI News

Fetches AI news from two sources and merges results. Uses web_fetch only — no web_search.

Sources

1. Nature RSS: https://www.nature.com/nature.rss
2. New Scientist Tech: https://www.newscientist.com/subject/technology/

Workflow

Step 1 — Fetch Nature RSS

text

web_fetch(url="https://www.nature.com/nature.rss", extractMode="text", maxChars=50000)

Parse the XML. Each <item> has <title>, <link>, <dc:date> (YYYY-MM-DD).

Filter keywords: ai, artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, neural network, quantum computing, llm, agi, chip, data centre, data center, algorithm, automation, generative, transformer, gpt, agent, autonomous, cybersecurity, encryption.

Date rule: keep only items from the last 3 days (Nature posts infrequently — 24h yields too little).

Step 2 — Fetch New Scientist Technology

text

web_fetch(url="https://www.newscientist.com/subject/technology/", extractMode="markdown", maxChars=50000)

Extract article links and headlines from the markdown output. For the top items, also fetch the individual article pages to get summaries:

text

web_fetch(url="<article-link>", extractMode="markdown", maxChars=5000)

Filter: Keep only AI-related articles (same keyword list as Nature). Return top 7 by recency.

Step 3 — Merge & Present

Combine results from both sources into a single digest, grouped by source:

text

## 🟢 New Scientist — AI News

**Headline** (date if available)
One-sentence summary.
→ URL

## 🔵 Nature — AI News

**Headline** (date)
One-sentence summary.
→ URL

Rules:

• Max 7 items per source
• If one source has zero AI items, say so honestly — don't pad
• Always indicate which source each item came from
