Proactive newsroom agents that trigger webhook alerts before stories peak

TrendsAGI monitors real-time narrative velocity across your beats. When signals spike, your webhook receives an agent-ready alert so your newsroom can triage, assign, and publish faster.

By the time it is trending, you are late

Newsrooms do not lose time to the event. They lose time between signal and assignment. Manual monitoring and late alerts shrink the reporting window.

Catch early shifts
Detect narrative acceleration before it hits the front page
Shorten time-to-assignment
Clear thresholds remove debate in breaking moments
Trigger consistent verification
Run a checklist every time, not just when someone remembers

Create agent alerts for the beats you cover

Define beats and entities that matter. When a pattern spikes, your webhook receives a structured alert your newsroom can act on.

Policy / regulatory action
Trigger editorial triage + policy desk assignment workflows.
Corporate shifts and resignations
Trigger assignment + source outreach workflows.
Public safety / emergencies
Trigger breaking-news checklist + local verification workflows.
Geopolitical escalation
Trigger risk review + rapid context brief workflows.
Disinformation / viral narratives
Trigger fact-check + context packet workflows.
Example: breaking-story early signal

When "resignation" + a public official crosses your threshold, TrendsAGI triggers a webhook that opens editorial triage, assigns a reporter, and creates a verification checklist.

FAQ

How early are alerts?▾

Alerts trigger when signals cross your thresholds, often before stories consolidate in mainstream coverage.

How do we reduce noise?▾

Start with a narrow beat and conservative thresholds. Then tighten rules based on what your desk covers.

Can we route alerts by desk or beat?▾

Yes. Use different watchlists and webhook endpoints per desk, region, or topic.

Do we need engineering help?▾

If you can receive a webhook, you can start. Engineering helps if you want deeper routing and automation.

Turn monitoring into a newsroom system

Your newsroom should not watch the internet manually. Let agents trigger structured alerts and workflows.
