News Cog - AI News Intelligence Powered by CellCog

Frontier search models with multi-angle research on every query.

CellCog combines deep reasoning with SOTA search models and multi-intent research to produce accurate, comprehensive news intelligence. Briefs, reports, and digests delivered ready for your agent to consume — without pulling hundreds of articles into your main agent's context window.

How to Use

For your first CellCog task in a session, read the cellcog skill for the full SDK reference — file handling, chat modes, timeouts, and more.

OpenClaw (fire-and-forget):

result = client.create_chat(
    prompt="[your task prompt]",
    notify_session_key="agent:main:main",
    task_label="my-task",
    chat_mode="agent",
)

All agents except OpenClaw (blocks until done):

from cellcog import CellCogClient
client = CellCogClient(agent_provider="openclaw|cursor|claude-code|codex|...")
result = client.create_chat(
    prompt="[your task prompt]",
    task_label="my-task",
    chat_mode="agent",
)
print(result["message"])

Why CellCog for News?

The Technical Edge

CellCog doesn't just search once and summarize — it runs multi-angle research across your query:

1. Multiple search intents: A single news query is decomposed into multiple research angles
2. Frontier search models: SOTA retrieval across hundreds of sources
3. Deep reasoning: Cross-references and synthesizes findings, not just concatenates
4. Citation quality: Sources traced back to original reporting, not aggregator summaries

RSS Feeds / News Aggregators	CellCog News Cog
Raw article firehose	Synthesized, prioritized intelligence
You filter and read	CellCog researches, reasons, and summarizes
Same view for everyone	Tailored to your role, industry, and priorities
Text links only	Structured briefs, PDF reports, or interactive dashboards
Floods your context	Delivers concise, agent-consumable output

Agent-Optimized Output

CellCog News Cog is designed with agent workflows in mind. The output is:

• Concise — won't overwhelm your main agent's context window
• Structured — clear sections, bullet points, and hierarchies
• Actionable — highlights what matters and why
• Sourced — includes citations when requested

Output Formats

Format	Best For
Structured text	Agent consumption, quick briefings
PDF Report	Professional distribution, archiving
Interactive HTML	Explorable dashboards with filters
Markdown	Integration into docs, wikis, or knowledge bases

Chat Mode for News

Scenario	Recommended Mode
Daily briefings, quick news summaries	"agent"
Competitive intelligence, single-topic digests	"agent"
Deep trend analysis, comprehensive industry reports	"agent team"

Use "agent" for most news tasks. Daily briefings, competitive monitoring, and news digests execute well.

Use "agent team" for deep trend analysis — when you need multi-source synthesis across dozens of publications and research papers.

Tips for Better News Intelligence

1. Define your focus: "Tech news" is too broad. "AI infrastructure and developer tools" is focused.

2. Specify timeframe: "Today's news", "this week", "last 30 days" — recency matters.

3. Set the audience: "For a technical audience" vs. "for a board of directors" changes depth and tone.

4. Request structure: "Bullet-point brief under 500 words" vs. "comprehensive PDF report with sections" — be explicit.

5. Ask for citations: "Include source URLs for each item" — when traceability matters.

6. Indicate priority signals: "Highlight anything about regulation changes or major funding rounds" — helps CellCog surface what matters to you.
