Muse Built Me an Hourly News Machine

Muse Built Me an Hourly News Machine

Muse feed is good but coverage is light, about one item every two hours. I had Muse build a custom news artifact to augment it. Scans Hacker News, Techmeme, and high-signal X accounts every hour, filters against inclusion criteria, alerts me to anything urgent based on alert criteria.

So far, it works really well. It shortlists posts every hour and reads the ones that pass its initial filter, then writes up summaries. It stores everything in whatever database artifacts use (🤷‍♂️) so they're searchable.

I'd like to improve the visuals that accompany posts, including by incorporating images associated with the items, and polishing up the infographics.

I'd also like the ability to click "Discuss" on an item and discuss it in the chat with my Muse, but it's not clear this is possible. Muse tried it initially, based I guess on how it thought it should work, and it didn't.

Why it made the cut

When the built-in feed is too light, the agent builds its own: an hourly scanner that filters sources against your criteria, alerts on the urgent, and stores searchable summaries.
