# Find News

Find News is the fastest way to understand what happened in a local government meeting while keeping the original video close at hand.

The basic rhythm is:

1. [Find a meeting](/find-news/find-a-meeting.md).
2. [Review its agenda items, moments, and video](/find-news/review-a-meeting.md).
3. [Search or download the transcript](/find-news/transcripts.md).
4. Verify anything you plan to quote or share against the recording.
5. If a moment should reach a wider audience, add it to your highlights, then use [Create Video Highlights](/create-video-highlights.md) to shape it into a video you can share.

SeeGov's notes, detected votes, speaker names, and generated text are reporting aids. They make a long meeting navigable; they do not replace your editorial judgment or the source recording.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.seegov.org/find-news.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
