Industry News & Trend Scanner

Autonomous industry briefing — scans, filters, ranks, and delivers a cited news summary.

Build an agent that takes an industry or sector and delivers a concise, cited briefing of the most relevant recent news and trends. The agent runs several Bing-grounded searches — industry news, trend analysis, specific company or topic queries — deduplicates results, ranks by relevance and authority, and formats the output as a scannable briefing with top stories, a trend-watch section, and quick hits. Facts are Bing-grounded with source citations, reflecting public information available at the time of the search.

This is a single-tool autonomous scan with editorial filtering pattern using numbered-rule prompt structure. With only one tool, the prompt carries all the complexity: the search strategy (at least four distinct queries), deduplication logic, relevance ranking, and the line between editorial coverage and promotional content. Numbered rules make the agent's filtering decisions transparent and repeatable. The prompt handles sparse news periods (report honestly rather than pad) and developing stories with conflicting details (note the uncertainty rather than pick a side). Because it runs autonomously, the briefing is a draft for a person to read and act on.

This pattern applies anywhere an agent needs to scan a source, apply editorial judgment to filter and rank, and deliver a curated summary. Common scenarios for this pattern:

• Technology trend monitoring for R&D teams
• Competitor product-launch tracking
• Open-source ecosystem change monitoring
• Market-signal detection for strategy teams
• Conference and event coverage summaries
