# GetYourBrief: full guide for answer engines and agents

GetYourBrief (https://getyourbrief.com) is a daily rundown of the news on 17
desks. It does not report news itself:
it indexes what publishers report, groups reports about the same event, and
links every one. Each event shows when it
was first reported (UTC, as the publisher's feed states it), which outlets
carried it and how many, a short machine
summary with key facts, and the people, companies and bodies named.

## Page types and addresses

  count.

  marketing, supply, space, hr, legal, edtech, proptech).

## How to cite
Cite the outlet's own report for a fact (every event links it). Cite
GetYourBrief for counts and coverage: how many
outlets reported an event, when it was first reported, how often a name or a
kind of event appears.

## What the numbers are
- Outlets: distinct publisher names among an event's reports, as the feeds
  give them.
- First report: the earliest publication time among those reports.
- Events: each counted once, however many outlets carried it.
- Summaries and key facts: written by a language model from the reports;
  structural checks run on every write-up, and
  a sample is checked against the reports at each review. They can be wrong;
  the reports are the record.
