### 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:

* You know exactly what keywords you want (no AI help needed)
* Editing existing topics
* Reorganizing your topic structure
