Compare news coverage between 2–4 African countries or regions side by side.
DiscoveredDetect sudden spikes in news coverage — compares last 24h against 7-day baseline. Surfaces unusual increases like crime up 5× in Bulawayo or a football surge in Ghana.
DiscoveredDrain the ENTIRE un-enriched article backlog, not just one batch. RESTRICTED to platform-team accounts (WorkOS bearer issued inside the platform-team org). Fire-and-forget: asks the pipeline worker to enrich un-enriched articles in batches (oldest first) until the backlog is clear, running independently of the automatic 10-minute sweep. Returns immediately; use trigger_enrichment for a single targeted batch instead.
DiscoveredSearch articles by keyword, tag, category, or country. Results carry short excerpts, word counts, and app links only — call get_article with a result's id to read the full article body inline.
DiscoveredRead a single article by ID or slug. Returns the full article body inline as markdown (truncated at ~8000 characters with a link to continue in the app) plus source metadata and the Mukoko app URL. Use this after a list tool (get_briefing, find_stories, …) to read an article without leaving the conversation.
DiscoveredAnswer "What's happening in [place/topic]?" — top story, recent articles, and trending topics in one call. Accepts country codes (ZW, KE), region names (East Africa, Southern Africa), category topics (politics, business), or omit focus for a pan-African overview. Returns short excerpts with word counts and app links only — call get_article with an article id to read a full article body inline.
DiscoveredOpen data breakdown of news coverage by category, country, and keyword for a given period.
DiscoveredNews from a specific place in Africa. Accepts country codes, country names, region names, or city names.
DiscoveredPersonalised news feed based on the authenticated user's article likes and saves. Requires Authorization: Bearer <WorkOS access token>.
DiscoveredSee how a specific news source is covering a topic.
DiscoveredPlatform statistics: total articles, active sources, and today's output.
DiscoveredOpen analytics: trending topics, categories, keywords, and sources for any location or period. Part of Mukoko's open data policy.
DiscoveredList all news categories with article counts.
DiscoveredList active news sources. Optionally filter by country code.
DiscoveredFollow the development of a news story over time. Returns articles in chronological order showing how a story evolved. Use since to control the lookback window.
DiscoveredManually run the AI enrichment agent over existing articles (classification, keywords, entities, quality scoring). RESTRICTED to platform-team accounts — requires a WorkOS bearer token issued inside the platform-team org. By default enriches the most recent un-enriched articles; pass article_ids to target specific ones, or reset_attempts to re-run articles that previously hit the failure cap.
