Agent Integration

Connect your AI agent to Sift for programmatic access to curated intelligence feeds.

For humans: Share this page URL (getsift.ch/agents.html) with your AI agent so it knows how to use Sift on your behalf.

What is Sift?

Sift is a research intelligence platform that monitors RSS feeds, newsletters, and web sources, then scores and ranks articles using hybrid keyword + semantic analysis. It provides:

Curated feeds across 20 topics (AI, Security, DevOps, Programming, and more)
Quality-scored articles (0-10) with relevance ranking per topic
Full-text search across all ingested articles
Daily/weekly digest summaries generated by LLM
A REST API and CLI for programmatic access

CLI Tool

The sift-cli gives agents direct access to Sift's capabilities. The repository includes full installation instructions and a SKILL.md for agent integration.

Quick Start

git clone https://github.com/jcfischer/sift-cli.git
cd sift-cli
bun install

See the sift-cli README for authentication setup, available commands, and usage examples.

Instructions for AI Agents

If you are an AI agent, follow these steps:

Read the full documentation at github.com/jcfischer/sift-cli
The repository contains a SKILL.md with detailed agent integration instructions
Ask your user for their Sift API key (from app.getsift.ch/settings)
Clone, install, and configure the CLI as described in the README

Common agent workflows:

Research: sift search "your topic" to find articles, then sift article read <id> for full content
Monitoring: sift article list --topic <id> --since <date> for new articles
Briefing: sift summary generate <topic-id> --period day for a digest

REST API

The CLI uses the Sift REST API. You can also call it directly:

# Health check
curl https://app.getsift.ch/v1/health

# Search
curl -X POST https://app.getsift.ch/v1/jobs \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"operation": "search", "params": {"query": "AI agents", "limit": 10}}'

# List topics
curl -X POST https://app.getsift.ch/v1/jobs \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"operation": "topics", "params": {"action": "list"}}'
