What it does

The task

Find coverage of story from at least 10 news outlets with different points of view and from different countries. List the facts that all sources agree on, and the points where they disagree, with the outlets on each side. Find the primary sources: official statements, documents and data. Describe how each type of outlet frames the story in one line, and do not add your own opinion. Write a brief of 400 words or fewer with a link for each claim.

  • It works in Google News, any news site and Wikipedia, in the workspace you pick, and signs in with passwords from your Cuiar vault.
  • It runs once, when you start it.
  • It uses Odyssey, the deep-research mode of the Pro and Team plans, and keeps a citation for each fact.

What you get back

An example run with the example values above. Your run uses your own data.

Coverage of the Nordair and SkyBalt merger (12 outlets, 6 countries)

Agreed facts: deal value 640 million EUR; closing planned for Q2 2027; the new airline keeps the name Nordair

Disputed: job cuts. 3 outlets report 800 cuts, 2 report up to 1,200; the companies say no cuts in 2027.

Primary sources: the joint press release, the stock exchange filing, the union statement

Framing:

  • Business press: cost savings and route overlap
  • Local press in the SkyBalt home city: loss of the airline base
  • Consumer sites: fewer routes and higher fares

Brief: 390 words, 17 links
