The core concept of SignalHub is the tracker. A tracker monitors a specific topic and has its own sources, prompt, and settings.

Follow / Fork a tracker

The easiest way to get started is to follow or fork a tracker from the community library. You can explore the community library on search to discover trackers shared by others. You can view each tracker’s prompt, sources, settings, and updates. On any tracker, you can:
  • Follow: subscribe to its updates without managing any settings.
  • Fork: create your own copy, then customize the prompt, sources, and settings. The copy is fully managed by you.

Create a tracker

Step 1: Create a tracker

  • After signing in, you will be redirected to your dashboard where you can see your tracker list.
  • If this is your first sign-in, the list is empty. Click “New Tracker” to create one. For inspiration, browse the community library in search.

Step 2: Basic settings

Basic settings
  • Give your tracker a name to indicate its topic, for example “White House Watch: Immigration and Technology”.
  • You can enable or disable the tracker. If disabled, this tracker will be paused and you won’t receive any updates from it.
  • You can share your tracker with the community. When public, anyone can find it on search and view its prompt, sources, settings, and updates. But your private notification channels are never shared.

Step 3: AI settings

AI settings
  • Filtering: Toggle to enable or disable AI-powered filtering. When on, messages will be filtered by the LLM based on your rules.
  • Filter Rules: The most important setting — it tells the tracker what you care about. For example:
[Your role / profession]
- AI news journalist (global coverage)

[Keep]
- Major global AI developments with clear industry impact
- Significant technical breakthroughs from leading AI companies
- Important AI product launches or major feature updates
- Major funding rounds involving high-impact AI startups

- Focus areas:
  - Large language models (LLMs)
  - Multimodal models
  - Speech technologies (ASR automatic speech recognition,TTS text to speech)
  - Image, video, and audio generation models
  - Robotics and embodied AI
  - AI agents
  - Semiconductors and accelerators
  - Data centers and AI infrastructure
  - Data labeling and training pipelines
  - Reinforcement learning
  - Training and inference infrastructure

[Filter out]
- Pure marketing or promotional content
- Minor business partnerships or small funding rounds
- Opinion or commentary articles,unless written by globally recognized and well-established AI leaders
  • Filter Strictness: Adjust how strictly the AI applies your filter rules. Higher strictness means more aggressive filtering, which may result in fewer signals but higher relevance.
  • Rewrite Headline: You can choose whether the AI rewrites headlines. We recommend leaving this enabled, as it helps reduce clickbait and misleading titles.
  • Translate Updates: You can enable translation and choose a target language to receive updates in your preferred language.

Step 4: Notification settings

Notification settings
  • Choose how you want to receive updates. Available channels include Email, Telegram, Discord, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Chat, Ntfy, Pushover, WeCom, Lark, DingTalk, and X/Twitter.
  • By default, updates are emailed to your sign-in address once per day at 7:30 AM.
  • For the best experience, add a real-time IM (Instant Messaging) channel (e.g., Telegram, Discord or Slack). See the channel setup guides in the Notifications section of the docs.

Step 5: Sources settings

Sources settings Manage the sources you trust. We recommend configuring 5-20 sources per tracker.
SignalHub supports most websites, including many dynamic and UGC platforms. If a source fails to crawl, please contact us so we can improve support.
