Real scenarios where your AI agent leverages Perigon to deliver timely, relevant news intelligence to customers, analysts, and internal teams without anyone opening a news app.
A financial advisor asks their AI agent for the latest news on semiconductor stocks. The agent queries Perigon with category and keyword filters, retrieves the top stories from the past 24 hours, and presents a summary with source links. The advisor walks into their client meeting with fresh intelligence gathered in 15 seconds instead of 30 minutes of manual research.
A sales rep is about to call a prospect and asks the AI agent for recent news about the prospect's company. The agent searches Perigon by company name, surfaces recent funding announcements, product launches, and executive changes. The rep opens the call referencing a news item from yesterday. Preparation that used to take 20 minutes happens in a single chat message.
A PR manager asks the AI agent to track how their product launch is being covered. The agent uses Perigon's story clustering to find all articles about the launch, groups them by sentiment, and identifies which journalists wrote about it. The PR team gets a coverage report with author contacts, built from a casual conversation rather than an expensive media monitoring subscription.
