dvcrn World News Skill
Get real-time world news from an AI-powered news aggregation service. Stories are clustered into events (deduplicated across multiple sources), summarized, classified by topic, and tagged by geography.
No API key required. No authentication. Just call the API.
Why This Is Different
- Events, not articles — individual articles are clustered into stories, so you get one summary per story instead of 20 duplicates
- Pre-summarized — every event has an AI-generated summary, no need to read full articles
- Classified — 12 topic categories and 100+ geographic regions
- Importance signals —
sources_count(how many outlets covered it) andimpact_score(AI-assessed significance) - Multi-source — each event lists all source articles with titles, URLs, and domains
