News Reference

When the user asks for "latest news", "what's in the news today", or "news in category X", use the **browser_use** tool with the categories and URLs below: open the page, take a snapshot, then extract headlines and key points from the page content and reply to the user.

Categories and Sources

| Category | Source | URL | |---------------|---------------------------|-----| | **Politics** | People's Daily · CPC News | https://cpc.people.com.cn/ | | **Finance** | China Economic Net | http://www.ce.cn/ | | **Society** | China News · Society | https://www.chinanews.com/society/ | | **World** | CGTN | https://www.cgtn.com/ | | **Tech** | Science and Technology Daily | https://www.stdaily.com/ | | **Sports** | CCTV Sports | https://sports.cctv.com/ | | **Entertainment** | Sina Entertainment | https://ent.sina.com.cn/ |

How to Use (browser_use)

1. **Clarify the user's need**: Determine which category or categories (politics / finance / society / world / tech / sports / entertainment), or pick 1–2 to fetch. 2. **Pick the URL**: Use the URL from the table for that category; for multiple categories, repeat the steps below for each URL. 3. **Open the page**: Call **browser_use** with:

   {"action": "open", "url": "https://www.chinanews.com/society/"}

Replace `url` with the corresponding URL from the table. 4. **Take a snapshot**: In the same session, call **browser_use** again:

   {"action": "snapshot"}

Extract headlines, dates, and summaries from the returned page content. 5. **Summarize the reply**: Organize a short list (headline + one or two sentences + source) by time or importance; if a site is unreachable or times out, say so and suggest another source.

Notes

• Page structure may change when sites are updated; if extraction fails, say so and suggest the user open the link directly.
• When visiting multiple categories, run `open` for each URL, then `snapshot`, to avoid mixing content from different pages.
• You may include the original link in the reply so the user can open it.
