Nika Newsletter

AI-generated newsletter focusing on recent developments regarding freedom and democracy around the world.

The underlying architecture is structured around multiple LLM agents acting sequentially:

1. A writer agent, equipped with a Google Search tool, searches the web for news and prepares a simple first drafts. The links of the news articles used by this agent are stored.

2. A link injecter agent takes the links saved at point 1 and “injects” them into the draft in Markdown-compliant format. This second agent became necessary after I saw that the writer agent itself was often hallucinating when reporting links.

3. A philosopher ingests on the news (as well as past issues of the newsletter, for reference) and elaborates a structured reflection, based on the concept of freedom outlined in Tymothy Snyder’s “On Freedom”.

4. A style editor agent prepares the final text, collating the outputs of agents 1 and 3, reviewing the style and adding emojis.

The underlying LLMs are different version of Google Gemini. The newsletter outputs are saved in MongoDB Atlas (to be fetched by the philosopher agent in future issues); the newsletter is sent via Mailchimp.
