Themes and Trends

Trend Velocity vs Raw Mention Count

The system does not just look for “topics that are mentioned a lot.” It looks for Trend Velocity—topics whose metric rate is accelerating. An article mentioned twice yesterday and twelve times today is highlighted over a topic mentioned six times every day for a year.

Theme Suggestions

The system clusters these high-velocity trends and automatically drafts “Theme Suggestions.” These appear as pre-written context groupings summarizing why this trend is exploding.

Promoting a Theme

If you like an AI-suggested theme, click Promote. It instantly enters your Newsletter Drafts queue as an assembled section.

Dismissing Themes

If the AI is hallucinating a fake trend or tracking something you do not care about, hit Dismiss so it doesn’t clutter your view.

Source Diversity Warnings

The dashboard will highlight if your trends are skewed entirely towards a single domain or community. A source diversity warning indicates you might be creating an echo chamber and should ingest broader sources.
