AI Summaries
The Live Feed shows every tweet. Top Performers shows the ones gaining traction. AI Summaries answer something different: what is everyone actually talking about right now?
The summaries panel sits in the bottom 40% of the AI Actions column and updates automatically as the feed evolves.
What's in a summary
Every summary captures:
Trending Topics (up to 4)
For each topic:
- Topic name: what it's about, in one phrase.
- Sentiment: Positive / Neutral / Negative.
- Momentum: Rising / Stable / Falling.
- Context: a one-line gloss on why it matters.
Categories (a 2×2 grid)
Each summary lays out four category cards:
- Politics & Policy
- Crypto Markets
- Tech Companies
- Sentiment Signals
Inside each card:
- ★ Carried-forward items: themes that survived from the previous summary cycle. These are the persistent stories, not flashes in the pan.
- • New observations: what's emerged since the last summary.
Key Takeaways
The summary's editorial line: the points worth carrying into the next cycle. This feeds the carried-forward section of the next summary, giving the system a kind of working memory.
When summaries are generated
Automatically. You never trigger them. The backend continuously analyses the tweets you're tracking, generates a fresh summary on a cadence, then pushes it down the same WebSocket that powers the Live Feed.
How they appear in the UI
Summaries arrive newest-first in the AI Summaries panel. Each card shows a compact view:
- 25%: topic strip on the left. Each topic shows its name, a sentiment pill and a one-line context. (Momentum is not shown on the compact card; it appears in the expanded view.)
- 75%: the 2×2 category grid on the right.
The list loads a page at a time. Only the first page (20 summaries by default, set by VITE_AI_SUMMARIES_PER_PAGE) loads up front; a Load More button at the bottom fetches older summaries. The same Load More applies to search results.
The panel header carries two extras:
- A Search box with a
Search...placeholder. Type a keyword to filter past summaries across the whole list. Clearing it returns you to the full newest-first feed. The search is separate from the View modal. - A small position counter, for example
3/57, tracking which summary is in view out of the total available. While searching it switches to a results count (matches loaded out of matches found).
The View modal
Click View on any card to expand the full summary in a modal. Its header shows the summary's timestamp and an N tweets analyzed pill telling you how many tweets fed that summary. The body adds what the compact card trims:
- Full-length context for every trending topic, each with both a momentum pill and a sentiment pill.
- All four categories with their complete carried-forward and new-observation lists.
- The complete Key Takeaways section.
Why this helps when posting
Before you reply to a tweet, the summary tells you what frame that tweet sits inside. Is the topic Rising or Falling? What's the sentiment of the broader conversation? You can write a reply that feels timed and contextual rather than one that's missing the room.
That's also why tone-tuning matters. See Tones.
