Freshness
Updated source context
Use feeds when the agent needs current information beyond model training data and static documentation.
LLM-optimized news
An LLM-optimized news search API should reduce cleanup work for the agent.
LLM workflows waste context and tool calls when they receive duplicate links, boilerplate, stale snippets, or source text without evidence.
Synorb is feed-first for known coverage: it returns source-grounded Manifests that are compact enough for agent workflows and explicit enough for application storage.

01 / Criteria
What should the data layer include?
For compact cited news and source updates for LLM applications, the useful unit is not a loose search result. It is an object the agent can retrieve, cite, filter, store, and audit.
Grounding
Evidence stays attached
Source URLs, dates, and stable IDs help the application cite, inspect, and audit what the model used.
Delivery
MCP, REST, webhooks, and archives
Agents can explore through Core MCP. Production systems use REST and webhooks for current delivery. The live window covers the current calendar month plus the previous three full months; S3 archive exports support historical backfills and replay for older months.
02 / Shape
A Manifest is the object the agent can use.
This JSON manifest is the source-grounded object delivered through MCP or REST. It is compact enough for an agent workflow and explicit enough for an application to store, cite, and audit.

03 / Fit
Where Synorb fits in the workflow.
Use Synorb when your team already knows the sources or topics it needs to monitor, and the workflow needs current context again and again. Use search or crawling for open-ended discovery.
Agents
Pull live context
Use Synorb MCP to discover Streams, inspect details, and retrieve Manifests inside an agent workflow.
RAG
Load before prompts
Push source-grounded Manifests into retrieval stores before users ask for current answers.
Apps
Render with citations
Build dashboards, feeds, monitors, and briefings with source URLs available at display time.
FAQ
Short answers for AI builders.
What makes a news search API LLM-optimized?
It returns compact, structured, source-backed objects instead of making the model clean and infer structure from pages.
Is Synorb a search API?
Synorb is a source-grounded feed and context graph. It can reduce repeated searches for known coverage areas, while search remains useful for open-ended discovery.
What does an LLM-ready object include?
It includes a summary, source URL, date, stable ID, tags, provenance, and delivery metadata.
