**How do I monitor blogs and news sources?**

Tell Astra which blogs or news sites you want to track — she uses BlogWatcher to scan RSS/Atom feeds for new articles and surface what matters.

**What can I ask?**

- "Monitor the top 5 AI company blogs for me"
- "Track new posts from Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google DeepMind"
- "Show me what's new this week from our competitors' blogs"
- "Add the Y Combinator blog to my monitoring"
- "What new articles came out today in our space?"

**How does it work?**

BlogWatcher scans RSS/Atom feeds from any blog or news site. When a new article is published, Astra can surface it in your feed. No API key needed — RSS is a standard web protocol.

**What sources can I track?**

- Company blogs and engineering blogs
- Tech news sites (TechCrunch, The Verge, Ars Technica)
- Industry publications
- Personal blogs of thought leaders
- Academic blogs and research group blogs
- Open source project blogs
