News alerts
News monitoring that reads the story, not just the keyword
Point an alert at the topics or feeds you trust, describe what you're waiting for, and Avos emails you when a new story actually matches.
What a news alert can watch
Topics, feeds and sources
Follow Google News topics, any RSS feed, curated Avos sources, web search or AI search, up to 5 feeds in one alert.
Conditions in plain words
Get every new story, or only the ones that meet a condition you write, like "funding rounds over $50M". AI judges each new story and tells you why it matched.
No repeats
Only new stories count. When several outlets run the same story you get it once, with the others listed, and rewrites of a story you already got are skipped.
Your sources, your rules
Limit an alert to the outlets you trust, or block the ones you don't, by domain or publisher name.
How it works
Describe what you're waiting for
Start from a recipe like competitor watch, brand mentions, regulatory watch or hiring signals, or write your own.

Choose how you hear about it
As it happens, in a daily digest or in a weekly report, at the time and in the timezone you pick.
How it differs from Google Alerts
- Google Alerts matches keywords. Avos reads each new story and checks it against your condition, so a passing mention doesn't set it off.
- You choose the sources: Google News topics, your own RSS feeds or curated sources, and you can block outlets.
- The same story from several outlets arrives once, as one item.
- Google Alerts is free. Avos alerts use credits; Starter is free and includes one alert, checked once a day.
What each plan includes
| Plan | Alerts | News checked | Prices checked |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | 1 | once a day | every hour |
| Plus | 5 | every 6 hours | every 15 minutes |
| Pro | 20 | every hour | every 5 minutes |
News is checked on a schedule set by your plan, so an alert can arrive up to one check after a story is published. Avos reads the feeds you pick; no tool catches every article on the web.
