FAQ
How does MoClaw create a Hacker News digest?
MoClaw's AI agent opens a real browser, navigates to Hacker News, reads the top stories, and generates a structured summary with titles, scores, comment counts, and brief descriptions of each story.
Can I customize which stories are included?
Yes. You can filter by minimum points, specific topics, keywords, or domains. Just describe your preferences in plain English when setting up the task.
What formats can I receive the digest in?
Markdown, JSON, or plain text. Delivered to your MoClaw workspace, Telegram, Slack, or email -- whatever works best for your workflow.
How often can I get the digest?
Any schedule you want: once a day, twice a day, weekly roundups, or custom cron expressions. Most users set it for their morning routine.
Can I monitor sources other than Hacker News?
Absolutely. MoClaw can browse any website -- Reddit, Product Hunt, TechCrunch, arXiv, Lobsters, or any news source with a public web page.
Is this better than RSS feeds?
MoClaw doesn't just fetch headlines. It reads the actual content, summarizes key points, adds context about why a story matters, and filters out noise -- something RSS readers can't do.
How much does it cost?
MoClaw offers a free tier to get started. Set up your first digest, see the results, and decide if it fits your workflow before upgrading. No credit card required.
Can I combine multiple news sources in one digest?
Yes. You can ask MoClaw to pull from Hacker News, Reddit, and Product Hunt in a single digest. The AI merges and deduplicates stories across sources.
