Example queries
Once configured, you can ask your AI assistant things like:
- "What's hot in the news right now?"
- "What are today's top stories?"
- "What's trending in AI this week?"
- "Find me recent articles about climate policy"
How it works
The server connects to the Cyber Amber API, which indexes news articles from hundreds of sources and computes hotness scores based on how many articles cover the same story. Higher scores mean more coverage — a genuinely trending topic, not just a popular category.
Topic-filtered queries (e.g. "what's hot in gardening") use an anchor article approach: the server finds a representative article for the topic, then uses its full semantic vector to find hot articles in the same area of the news landscape.
