# Docs

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

The section reference — from the first steps 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. Open the section you need right now.

![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, search everywhere 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 and search everywhere — materials, events, stories, entities and the settings themselves.

![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 with the AI Agent & 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.
