Summarizes the news on any topic in one call: ranked results, a bullet digest of the coverage, and the named entities (people, companies, places) driving the story. Give it a topic and a recency window (day/week/month). One paid call replaces a search-then-summarize agent loop: ideal for daily briefings, brand monitoring, market awareness, research agents. Composite: one call runs web-search first, then summarize-text + extract-entities in parallel over the result snippets. Use it as a topic news summary, current events briefing, or agent news monitor.
