# Docs

[https://xedant.com/agents/news/docs.md](https://xedant.com/agents/news/docs.md)

The section reference — from first launch to fine tuning: how to connect sources and watch them, how to describe rules and alerts in words, how AI processing, publishing, feeds and analytics work. Start with the installation and the first steps, then open the section you need right now.

![Installation](https://xedant.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/icon-docker.svg)### [Installation](/agents/news/install)

Docker Compose, the embedded database, environment variables, first sign-in.

![Getting Started](https://xedant.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/icon-rocket.svg)### [Getting Started](/agents/news/docs/getting-started)

What the product is, who it fits, and where to begin.

![Sources](https://xedant.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/icon-rss.svg)### [Sources](/agents/news/docs/sources)

Fifteen ways to watch the news: feeds, pages, search, channels, your own Python collector.

![Collection, Politeness and Archive](https://xedant.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/icon-folder.svg)### [Collection, Politeness & Archive](/agents/news/docs/collection)

One careful collector, repeat filtering, the raw-page archive.

![Monitors](https://xedant.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/icon-timer.svg)### [Monitors](/agents/news/docs/monitors)

Watching a price, an availability or any other value with a threshold.

![Events and Evidence](https://xedant.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/icon-activity.svg)### [Events & Evidence](/agents/news/docs/events)

Every change — with a “before and after” comparison and a link to the archived copy.

![AI Processing](https://xedant.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/icon-wand.svg)### [AI Processing](/agents/news/docs/ai)

A summary with citation links, materiality, topics, translation.

![Rules](https://xedant.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/icon-blocks.svg)### [Rules](/agents/news/docs/rules)

A condition tree without programming, and a “why it did not fire” journal.

![Alerts and Noise Protection](https://xedant.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/icon-shield.svg)### [Alerts & Noise Protection](/agents/news/docs/alerts)

Materiality bands, quiet hours, digests instead of a stream of messages.

![Delivery Channels](https://xedant.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/icon-plug.svg)### [Delivery Channels](/agents/news/docs/channels)

Email, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Teams, webhook, API call, your own code and the channel check.

![Publishing](https://xedant.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/icon-send.svg)### [Publishing](/agents/news/docs/publishing)

A draft from the collected material, citation checking and your approval before sending.

A ready news feed for your site and mailing, in three formats.

![Observation Screens](https://xedant.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/icon-grid.svg)### [Observation Screens](/agents/news/docs/views)

Eight read-only screens and command cards for your agent.

![Analytics, Search and Exports](https://xedant.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/icon-chart.svg)### [Analytics, Search & Exports](/agents/news/docs/analytics)

How much came in and how much proved important, AI spending, archive search.

![File Configuration](https://xedant.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/icon-settings.svg)### [File Configuration](/agents/news/docs/config)

Nine sections of text files, editing on the fly, backups and the journal.

![Management API](https://xedant.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/icon-api.svg)### [Management API](/agents/news/docs/api)

The management key, the command reference, the self-check and the limits.

![Chat with the AI agent and commands](https://xedant.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/icon-message.svg)### [Chat & Commands](/agents/news/docs/agent)

Connecting Xedant Agent, what the agent can do, and where the license begins.

![Custom Scripts](https://xedant.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/icon-code.svg)### [Custom Scripts](/agents/news/docs/scripts)

Your own Python code as a source, a channel, a publishing target or a hook at any step.
