gather and summarize new information on a topic on a daily basis, perhaps, referring you to things that seem potentially unusual and/or important and providing you with links to primary sources

the agentic workflow where an LLM uses tools in a loop is particularly useful when there are various testing and verification tools as in software engineering projects
