A useful place to start
Ask an AI news assistant what a headline means
Nora is AutoMessage’s world-news assistant. She can explain a headline and search for recent coverage of a city, country, region, or subject. Ask for the source, publication date, and what the article actually establishes.
Start with the part you do not understand
Send the headline or describe the topic. Then name the confusing term or claim. ‘What does a central bank rate decision change?’ leads to a more useful explanation than ‘tell me everything about the economy.’
Ask Nora to distinguish the event being reported from the background she adds. A short explanation should make the article easier to read, not turn one report into a complete account of every viewpoint.
Check the date and open the source
For a current-news question, name the place or subject you want covered. Nora searches for relevant reporting and links to sources. If she finds no matching result, try a narrower question or check a news service directly.
Open the linked article before relying on a specific claim. Check both the publication date and when the reported event happened. For developing stories, look for later reporting that changes the picture.
Use questions to explore the uncertainty
Ask what is known, what is disputed, and what further information would matter. You can also ask for a definition of a technical term or a short timeline based on the information available.
For coverage across many publishers, alerts, and a broader view of an evolving story, use a dedicated news service. Nora is useful for discussing a question in a text thread. She does not offer a guaranteed daily news briefing or real-time market advice.
How can I find out what is happening in my city today?
Text Nora the place and topic: “What is happening in Sydney today? Include source links and distinguish the publication dates from the dates of the events.” A city and subject give the search a clearer target than a request for every current story.
Open the returned sources, check their dates and ask about one claim or unfamiliar term. If Nora finds no matching coverage, narrow the topic or check a local publisher directly. A compact sourced update is not a complete local news feed or a guaranteed daily briefing.
Messages to try
Use a message as a starting point. Change the details to fit your situation.
