- Fetches Latest News: For each identified company, it searches the web for the most recent and relevant news articles using newsapi.org
- Delivers Insights: You receive personalized emails via Gmail, each dedicated to a company you’re meeting with that day, containing a curated list of news headlines, brief descriptions, and direct links to full articles.
