Use AI for news
Goal. Compress a screen's worth of news (could be hundreds of headlines) into a useful, grounded summary you can act on.
Setup
Steps
- Build or open the news screen. Sidebar → News. Apply your filters (symbols, sources, keywords, date range). Save the screen if you don't already have one.
- Verify the screen has content. A summary built from an empty feed is useless — make sure the date window includes recent activity.
- Open AI chat. Sidebar → AI chat (or
gthena). Start a new thread (Ctrl+N). - Ask grounded questions. The AI sees your active screen — phrase questions accordingly:
- "Summarize the energy news from today in five bullets."
- "What are the recurring themes across these headlines?"
- "Which symbols got the most negative coverage?"
- "Anything market-moving in the last six hours?"
- Cite back to source. When the answer points at a specific headline, cross-reference it in the news screen — verify the AI is summarizing real coverage and not improvising.
- Hand off to alerts. If the summary surfaces a recurring theme, capture it as a news keyword alert so you don't miss the next occurrence.
What you should see
- A short, grounded summary that references actual headlines from your screen.
- (Optional) one or more new keyword alerts firing on subsequent matching items.
- A reusable AI chat thread you can return to and refine.
Variations
- Per-symbol summary — focus a symbol in the Market panel first, then ask "what's been said about this name?" The AI sees the focused symbol's recent news (smaller, more targeted set).
- Comparative — open two screens (different sectors), focus one, ask for comparison. The AI handles cross-screen scope where the active panel sets the primary context.
- Time window — narrow the screen's date range before asking. Wide windows produce vague summaries; six-hour windows produce specific ones.
Tips
- The AI does not have access to articles outside the active screen or its filters — if a story you expected is missing, check whether your filters excluded it.
- Don't paste secrets, API keys, or personal information into the chat. The chat sees only your screen's data — it never needs credentials.
- Threads persist; reuse the thread for the same screen across days to maintain conversational context.
