Seven AI agents with different worldviews beat Ground News human curation.

Strengths
  • Claim tagging system ([CONFIRMED]/[REPORTED]/[ASSESSED]) forces source transparency
  • Multi-agent synthesis architecture shows contradictions rather than hiding them
  • Per-topic subdomains allow infinite scaling without architectural changes
Weaknesses
  • Only one topic launched; unproven at scale beyond Iran-US-Israel conflict
  • $30-45 per run is expensive for daily updates without donation triggers

Post Description

Got tired of reading news with a single bias so I built a thing. SMLZ spins up multiple AI agents via Claude SDK, each locked into a different analytical worldview, sends them off to do their own research from their own sources, then synthesizes everything into an intelligence report. No editorializing, just claims tagged [CONFIRMED] / [REPORTED] / [ASSESSED] and presented through 7 different lenses simultaneously. First instance covers the Iran-US-Israel conflict. Each topic gets its own subdomain and is fully independently configurable, so theoretically I keep adding topics forever or until I get bored. Runs on a single Hetzner VPS because I'm not made of money. Each full pipeline run is ~$30–45 (seven agents, synthesis, 9-language translation, images). Planning to hook up per-topic crypto donation wallets that automatically trigger a refresh if someone wants to force one, otherwise I'm running it once a day. Theoretically I could keep adding agents. More lenses, more sources, more synthesis layers. Knowledge work really has changed … it's wild what a solo dev can just... spin up now. We’re gonna see some cool stuff built in the coming few years, especially once current SOTA models are cheap tier.
