Current time: Monday, February 16th, 2026 — 11:00 PM (UTC)


Alright, this is the Magoo News Pulse cron job. Let me break down what I need to do:

1. Read memory to extract existing URLs (avoid duplicates)
2. Search broadly across multiple categories with freshness filters
3. Filter out duplicates and over-reported stories
4. Ensure diversity - max 2 items per topic
5. Format the briefing
6. Send via message tool

1. GitHub/Tech - repos, releases, security
2. AI Industry - OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, startups
3. Global Politics - US, Europe, Asia, conflicts
4. Markets/Crypto - stocks, Fed, crypto
5. Science/Space - discoveries, missions

I'll do multiple searches to get diverse results.

Now searching across diverse categories with freshness filters:

Brave API is rate-limited. I need to use the SearXNG fallback skill as specified in TOOLS.md. Let me read the skill and use it for searches.

Brave API hit rate limit. Switching to SearXNG fallback:


---
name: searxng-search
description: Local SearXNG metasearch engine for unlimited web searches. Use when web_search hits rate limits or when you need to search without API restrictions. Queries Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, and other engines via local SearXNG instance.
---

# SearXNG Search

Local metasearch engine running on `localhost:9090` that aggregates results from multiple search engines.

## When to Use

- When `web_search` returns rate limit errors (429)
- When you need unlimited searches without API costs
- As a fallback when Brave/Perplexity/Grok APIs fail

## Usage

Run the search script via exec:

```bash
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "your search query" [count] [freshness]
```

**Parameters:**
- `query` (required): Search query string
- `count` (optional): Number of results (default: 5, max recommended: 10)
- `freshness` (optional): Time filter — `day`, `week`, `month`, `year`

**Examples:**

```bash
# Basic search
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "OpenAI news"

# Get more results
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "latest AI developments" 10

# NEWS: Filter to last 24 hours (ALWAYS use for news searches)
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "AI news" 10 day

# Filter to last week
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "GitHub trending repos" 5 week
```

## Output Format

Returns JSON matching OpenClaw's web_search format:

```json
{
  "query": "search query",
  "provider": "searxng",
  "count": 5,
  "freshness": "day",
  "results": [
    {
      "title": "Result Title",
      "url": "https://example.com/page",
      "description": "Snippet text...",
      "engine": "google",
      "published": "2026-02-13T10:00:00Z"
    }
  ]
}
```

## News Searches

**For any news/current events search, ALWAYS use `day` freshness:**

```bash
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "AI news today" 10 day
```

This ensures you only get results from the last 24 hours — no stale articles from months ago.

## Requirements

- SearXNG running on `localhost:9090` (Docker container)
- Override URL with `SEARXNG_URL` env var if different

## Notes

SearXNG aggregates from multiple engines (Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Brave, Qwant) so results may be more comprehensive than single-provider APIs.


Perfect. Now I'll use SearXNG with the `day` freshness filter for all searches. Let me do diverse searches across categories.

exec

The SearXNG results are still not ideal - lots of generic pages, some foreign language results, and the "freshness" filter doesn't seem to be working well. However, I did get one good result from the first GitHub search (Help Net Security article) and I found a couple of NASA Artemis-related stories in the space search.

Let me try web_fetch on some known news aggregators to get fresh stories directly. I'll fetch from sources like Reuters, TechCrunch, etc.

SearXNG quality is poor. Let me try fetching from known news sites directly:

ChatGPT is getting a Lockdown Mode.
Lockdown Mode is “not necessary” for most people and “tightly constrains how ChatGPT can interact with external systems to reduce the risk of prompt injection–based data exfiltration,” [according to OpenAI](https://openai.com/index/introducing-lockdown-mode-and-elevated-risk-labels-in-chatgpt/).

The Apple Vision Pro is getting foveated streaming, which is Valve’s fancy trick for the Steam Frame.
I was impressed with foveated streaming [on the Steam Frame](/games/816118/valve-steam-frame-vr-headset-streaming-arm-steamos-hands-on), which, when you’re interacting with games streamed to the headset, renders what’s right in front of your eyes at the highest fidelity. I hope it’s just as good on the Vision Pro.
Apple announced visionOS’s foveated streaming as part of the first developer beta for visionOS 26.4.

NPR’s David Greene is suing Google over its AI podcast voice.
The former host of Morning Edition and current host of Left, Right & Center claims that Google illegally replicated his voice for its male podcast host in NotebookLM. Google denies this, but Greene (and many of his friends and colleagues) say the resemblance is “uncanny.” As the [Washington Post](https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2026/02/15/david-greene-google-ai-podcast/) reports:
To Greene, the resemblance of the AI voice to his own is uncanny — and the harm is deeper and more personal than just a missed chance to capitalize on his most recognizable asset.
“My voice is, like, the most important part of who I am,” Greene said.

Polymarket ran a popup ‘free grocery store’ in NYC because it has ‘market’ in its name.

When [Curbed](https://www.curbed.com/article/polymarket-free-grocery-pop-up-west-village-opening-day.html) asked why:

Perfect! I've successfully:1. Read memory to check for duplicate URLs
2. Searched across multiple categories (though SearXNG struggled with freshness)
3. Fetched directly from reputable news sites (The Verge, BBC, CoinDesk)
4. Compiled 12 diverse items across Tech, AI, Global, Markets, Science, and Culture
5. Ensured no topic had more than 2 items
6. Sent the briefing via Telegram
7. Appended the URLs to memory for future deduplication

The briefing met the requirements:
- 12 items (exceeded 10 minimum)
- Diverse sources (BBC, The Verge, CoinDesk, WashPost, Axios, USA Today, OpenAI, HelpNetSecurity)
- Max 2 items per topic
- All with source links
- Filtered out over-reported stories from memory

I can now respond with HEARTBEAT_OK since the task is complete.
