It reads sixteen news sources, drafts its own copy, checks itself, and publishes — on a fifteen-minute loop, unattended. This is the standard we hold every system we build to.
Each stage is a separate step with a defined input and output — the same discipline we bring to any client build, whether the output is a news story or a reply to a customer.
Duplicate protection runs two ways: an exact match on the RSS <guid> (or a hash of title+link where no guid exists), then a fuzzy match against the last 50 published titles — anything scoring above 0.75 similarity is treated as the same story. If every candidate that pass turns up is a duplicate, that cycle publishes nothing. No duplicate forcing, no filler.
No cherry-picked highlight reel — this is the eight most recent published stories at the time of the snapshot above, in order.
Swap the news feed for wherever your work actually starts, and the architecture doesn’t change.
Fold is one workflow, folded into a loop like this one. Deep Fold is the same pattern running across several systems at once. Either way, it ships built to run unattended — not demoed once and handed off.
