Personalized News Briefing

A Personalized AI Briefing — How It Actually Works

Two kinds of personalized: automatic (a system remembers your topics and pushes updates on a schedule — not built) and manual (you name your topics in the question and get a sourced answer back instantly — live today in @vustSearchBot). This page shows exactly how the manual version works, and votes for the automatic one.

Honest scope

Manual personalization works today — stored personalization doesn't

Naming your own topics in a question to @vustSearchBot already returns a sourced, scoped answer — that's real personalization, just not automatic. What's missing is memory: nothing saves your topic list between sessions, and nothing runs on a schedule without you asking. The waitlist vote below is for that stored, automatic version specifically.

The manual-personalization flow described here (write your topics into the query, pick a tier) is exactly how @vustSearchBot works today — verified against the running product.

See the difference

The hypothetical automatic flow, the manual flow that works today, and the honest gap.

How an automatic personalized briefing would work

The hypothetical flow

Set your topics once — 'AI funding, semiconductors, my home city' — and a system remembers that list, checks it on a schedule, and sends you only what's relevant, ideally improving as it learns what you actually read.

What that needs, precisely

A stored preference profile per user, a background job that runs without a message from you, and some logic that filters relevance over time. None of that currently exists for SearchBot — this is a description of the feature, not a claim it's live.

How to get a personalized read today, manually

What you actually do

Open @vustSearchBot and write your own topic list into the question: 'What's new today in AI funding, semiconductors, and my home city?' Pick Standard for a fast pass or Deep/Research if you want a multi-source synthesis on a harder combination of topics — either way the fixed price is stated up front and charged when you send the query.

What you get back

A synthesized answer covering exactly the topics you named, with numbered source citations you can click through — genuinely personalized, because you wrote the personalization into the prompt yourself, on demand.

The honest gap between the two

What's missing

Memory and a schedule. Every time you want your briefing, you retype your topic list — nothing is saved between chats, and nothing arrives unless you open Telegram and ask.

What the waitlist is for

Voting for the stored-topics, scheduled version — built on the same sourced-search engine, not a separate product. Press the button below if remembering your topics for you is the part you actually want.
Practical use cases

Who benefits from a personalized briefing

Multi-topic trackers
Follow several unrelated beats at once (say, funding news, a technical field, and local news)
One question naming all three topics returns one sourced answer scoped to exactly that combination — real personalization, written by you.
Occasional checkers
Don't want a permanent subscription, just a personalized pass when they think to ask
No signup or saved profile needed — just ask with your topics included, any time, and get a scoped answer back.
Future automatic-briefing voters
Want the topic list remembered so they stop retyping it
The waitlist vote is exactly this ask — a stored profile and a schedule, built on the search engine that already personalizes manually.
How it works01–03

Manual personalization, step by step

  1. 01

    Name your topics in the question

    Write your specific interests directly into the prompt to @vustSearchBot — the personalization comes from your own wording, not a stored setting.

  2. 02

    Pick a depth tier

    Standard for a fast pass on a couple of topics; Deep/Research when combining several unrelated topics for a fuller synthesis — each tier shows its price before you confirm.

  3. 03

    Get a scoped, sourced answer

    The reply covers exactly the topics you named, each claim traceable to a clickable citation — genuinely personalized, just not remembered for next time.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What makes a news briefing 'personalized'?

Two different things get called personalized. Automatic personalization means a system remembers your topics and filters for you without being asked — that's not built. Manual personalization means you name your own topics in the question and get an answer scoped exactly to them — that already works today in @vustSearchBot, every time you ask.

Can I already get a personalized briefing without a subscription feature?

Yes. Type your specific interests directly into the question — 'summarize today's news on X, Y and Z' — and @vustSearchBot returns a synthesized, sourced answer scoped to exactly those topics. The personalization comes from your own wording, not from a stored profile, so you do it fresh each time.

Does VUST remember my topics between sessions?

No. There's no stored preference profile behind SearchBot today — each question stands alone. If you want the same briefing tomorrow, you ask again with the same topic list. That's the honest, specific limitation this page is upfront about.

Which tier should I use for a personalized briefing?

Standard is enough for a straightforward topic check. If you're combining several unrelated topics or want deeper synthesis across them, Deep/Research runs parallel sub-queries and tends to give a more complete answer for multi-part questions. Each mode has a fixed price stated up front and charged when you send the query; a failed search or delivery is refunded automatically.

How is this different from the general news-digest page?

Same underlying gap — no automatic scheduled push — but a different emphasis. This page focuses on personalization specifically: how to scope an answer to YOUR topics manually today, versus the stored, self-updating profile a true automatic briefing would need.

When might automatic, remembered personalization ship?

No date to give — it isn't built, and we won't guess a timeline for something that doesn't exist yet. The waitlist vote on this page is the actual signal we use to decide whether to prioritize building it.
