Current news should keep its subject

When you ask Mu for news about a specific topic, you get news about that topic. Not a summary of the day’s headlines. Not a paragraph that starts with what you asked for and drifts into a general briefing. The answer stays on the subject you chose, and it tell…

Answers anchored to today

When you ask Mu about the news, the weather, or the markets, the question is anchored to the day you ask it. The agent treats that as a fact: your request has a date, and the answer should reflect what is known as of that date. That means Mu does not silently …
