AI-Guided Topic Setup

Settings → AI-guided Topic Setup or click "Set up topic" button anywhere

A 3-step wizard that helps you configure new topic monitoring: Step 1: API Keys (auto-skipped if already configured)

  • Configure AI provider keys (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini)

  • Configure news provider keys (NewsAPI, TheNewsAPI, etc.)

  • Configure Firecrawl for web scraping

Step 2: Topic Setup

  • Enter a topic name (e.g., "APT28 Campaigns")

  • Provide a description of what you want to monitor

  • AI suggests relevant keywords based on your topic

Step 3: Keywords

  • Review AI-suggested keywords

  • Add/remove/edit keywords as needed

  • Keywords are used by Gather for automated collection


Topic Editor

Settings → Topic Editor

Manually create and manage topics without the wizard:

  • Create Topics: Add new categories like "Ransomware", "APT Groups", "Critical Vulnerabilities"

  • Edit Topics: Change names, descriptions, or associated keywords

  • Delete Topics: Remove unused topics

  • View Topics: See all configured topics and their keyword counts

Use Topic Editor when:
