Step 1 — Anthropic API Key
Go to console.anthropic.com → sign in → API Keys → Create Key. Copy the key (starts with sk-ant-) and paste below. Cost is a few cents per ranking session.
Your key is stored only in your browser's local storage and sent directly to Anthropic's API — never to any third party.
Step 2 — Google Alerts RSS (optional, better quality)
The tool auto-searches Google News for all 13 topics without any setup. For richer results, create real Google Alerts:

1. Go to google.com/alerts and search a topic (e.g. Epic Universe)
2. Click Show options → set Deliver to: RSS feed
3. After saving, click the RSS icon → copy the URL
4. In the app sidebar, paste the URL into that topic's field
Step 3 — X/Twitter via Nitter (optional)
X feeds use Nitter, a free public RSS bridge — no account needed. The default instance is pre-set. If feeds fail, try nitter.privacydev.net in the sidebar.
