🎛️ Modifying Settings & Filters

No complex configuration needed — just control your Agent through natural conversation. For example:

• "Show me AI videos released by top KOLs in the past 5 days"
• "Give me today's AI news, but exclude TechReview"
• "Fetch Reddit AI discussions from the past 3 days"

The agent automatically understands your intent and translates it into precise filtering conditions. You can control:

• 📂 Filter by Category — Include or exclude content types: News, Open Source, Social Discussions, KOL Insights
• 📡 Filter by Source — Include or exclude specific platforms (e.g., Reddit, TechCrunch, etc.)
• ⏰ Time Range — Customize how far back to fetch (default: past 24 hours)
• 🔢 Result Limit — Control the number of items returned (effective cap depends on tier: guest 3 / logged-in 6 / member 100)
• 📝 Summary Display — Choose whether to show short summaries, long summaries
• 🔗 Link Display — Choose whether to show original article links
• 🌐 Language — Choose output language (English or Chinese). Defaults to your system language; falls back to English if neither
• 💾 Output Format — Results can be printed directly to the terminal or exported as a JSON file

❓ FAQ

How do I get the latest AI news inside Claude Code or Codex? Install this skill (one git clone), then ask in plain language, e.g. "AI news from the past 24 hours, news only, long summaries". The agent turns it into category / source / time-range filters.

Can I follow AI builders and KOLs on X without scrolling X? Yes. High-engagement posts from 35 AI builders are collected and summarized; ask for "KOL insights from the past 3 days".

Is it free? Yes. Without an account each request returns up to 3 items; a free InBrief.info account raises it to 6; members get up to 100.

Can I get the digest in Chinese? Yes. Every item is summarized in both English and Chinese; ask for Chinese, or it follows your system language.

Can I self-host the pipeline instead? Yes — the collection and curation engine is open source: ai-news-brief (MIT).
