Story Sorter

Scans front pages and ranks only the stories that match your topic.

What you give it
A website link to scan and the specific topic you want to track.
What you get back
A ranked briefing table with headlines, takeaways, impact, and links.
Cost
3 credits a run. Partly answered: 1 credit. Nothing found: free. (~$0.17 a run)

How it works

  1. 1.Crawl the front page to gather every fresh headline and link.
  2. 2.Check saved facts and past runs to quickly spot repeats.
  3. 3.Filter out off-topic stories and keep only relevant items.
  4. 4.Grade each story by overall attention and impact on operators.
  5. 5.Sort the results and build the final clean briefing table.
  6. 6.Log what worked and update scanning rules for next time.

Rules it follows

  • Never invent headlines or links; copy exact URLs from the page.
  • Drop off-topic stories completely instead of padding the list.
  • Do not guess attention levels if engagement metrics are missing.
  • Use memory as a guide, never as proof; fresh retrieved facts beat remembered facts.
  • Do not store secrets, private contact details, payment data, or login material in memory.
