Source-linked market briefings with an AI agent
By Blake Folgado · Updated 2026-10-03
A useful briefing gives the desk a small number of material developments and the evidence to check them. Define the market, time window and questions before searching. Preserve local original sources when a story crosses languages.
The agent writes the note from tool results. SentryDock provides indexed news and your alert history; neither an AI summary nor an empty search establishes that a market moved for a particular reason.
The workflow
- Read account access, then decide whether you need indexed news, your own alerts or both.
- Search the topic with news.search; read news.mine and alerts.list for your monitored coverage.
- Group duplicate reports by event and retain original URLs and available publication times.
- Write the note with reported facts, interpretation and gaps clearly separated.
Example energy briefing prompt
“Prepare a European gas note from the last 24 hours. Cover LNG terminal outages, storage policy and export restrictions. Group by event, retain original-language source titles and links, and separate enacted policy from proposals. State where the indexed coverage is insufficient.”
A note the desk can use
- Lead: the material developments within the requested window.
- Evidence table: event, location, source, publication time and original URL.
- Interpretation: explain the possible relevance separately from reported facts.
- Open questions: conflicts, unverified claims and missing source coverage.
Move from a note to a recurring watch
If the same question matters tomorrow, review a market monitor with explicit source and relevance rules. SentryDock can continue monitoring independently of the assistant. Use your configured briefing settings for account delivery; the chat itself is not an always-running news subscription.
