FAQ

Practical answers to common setup and use questions.

The agent collects from RSS feeds and configured Google Search queries via SerpAPI. It can be extended to additional feeds or search terms. Data is standardized into a consistent schema with fields like title, link, snippet, date, source, and region. Duplicate detection prevents reading the same article twice, and error handling logs failed sources for review. The end result is a complete, clean feed that feeds into classification and summarization pipelines.

Yes. You can configure topics, regions, languages, and sources, as well as schedules and styling for the email briefing. The system supports adding or removing RSS feeds and search queries, and you can adjust how aggressively content is filtered or summarized. Custom fields and thresholds for classification can be tuned to match your domain. The changes apply to future runs without requiring code changes. You can test configurations in a dry-run mode before live delivery.

Articles are stored in a central data table with deduplication enabled. Retention is configurable; the default retains data for three days to balance freshness with history. Data is structured with metadata such as source, date, region, and topic. Old data is automatically pruned according to retention rules, and a log records deletions for traceability.

The briefing is delivered as a finance-themed HTML email. The schedule can be daily or on a custom cadence, with the subject line including the current date. Recipients are defined in your Gmail integration, and you can include or exclude emails to specific groups. The email includes a header with date and a footer attribution; you can customize branding and styling.

Yes. The agent supports RSS feeds and other sources; Google Search is optional. You can enable SerpAPI for Google results or rely solely on feeds, depending on your coverage requirements. The system ensures consistent formatting regardless of the source to facilitate reliable classification and summarization.

Gmail delivery uses OAuth2 authentication and standard Google security practices. Access is restricted to configured recipients, and you can audit delivery logs. If needed, you can route emails through a secured domain or use alternative email gateways. Encryption is handled by Gmail in transit, and sensitive data should be labeled appropriately before distribution.

If a source fails to respond, the agent retries or skips the item and logs the incident. Other sources continue to feed the pipeline, ensuring the briefing remains timely. The system uses cached or prior-available content to fill gaps, and the failure is noted for follow-up.
