Freshness
Updated source context
Use feeds when the agent needs current information beyond model training data and static documentation.
News feeds for agents
News feeds for AI agents and RAG applications should be source-grounded.
Developers looking for news feeds for AI agents usually need more than headlines, snippets, or RSS items. They need current source updates that an agent can retrieve, cite, filter, and store before a RAG workflow answers.
Synorb turns watched sources into Streams of Manifests with source URLs, dates, stable IDs, extracted topics, Briefs, Signals, and delivery through MCP, REST, and webhooks.

01 / Criteria
What should the data layer include?
For current news and source updates delivered as cited objects for AI agents and RAG 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 are news feeds for AI agents?
News feeds for AI agents are structured streams of current source-backed updates that agents can retrieve, cite, filter, and use inside workflows.
How are news feeds different from search results?
Search results help discover unknown pages. News feeds keep known coverage areas current with reusable objects that preserve source URLs, dates, tags, and stable IDs.
Can news feeds support RAG applications?
Yes. Teams can load Manifests into retrieval stores before prompts run, then keep citations and source metadata beside the retrieved context.
How does Synorb deliver news feeds?
Synorb delivers current Manifests through MCP, REST, and webhooks. S3 archive exports support historical backfills and replay for older months.
