Why CellCog for News?
The Technical Edge
CellCog doesn't just search once and summarize — it runs multi-angle research across your query:
- Multiple search intents: A single news query is decomposed into multiple research angles
- Frontier search models: SOTA retrieval across hundreds of sources
- Deep reasoning: Cross-references and synthesizes findings, not just concatenates
- Citation quality: Sources traced back to original reporting, not aggregator summaries

"agent" |
| Deep trend analysis, comprehensive industry reports |

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
Define your focus: "Tech news" is too broad. "AI infrastructure and developer tools" is focused.
Specify timeframe: "Today's news", "this week", "last 30 days" — recency matters.
Set the audience: "For a technical audience" vs. "for a board of directors" changes depth and tone.
Request structure: "Bullet-point brief under 500 words" vs. "comprehensive PDF report with sections" — be explicit.
Ask for citations: "Include source URLs for each item" — when traceability matters.
Indicate priority signals: "Highlight anything about regulation changes or major funding rounds" — helps CellCog surface what matters to you.
