A daily space news show lives or dies on freshness, but if your system can’t access live sources—news APIs, RSS feeds, agency updates, journal alerts—then it cannot reliably report on “the last 24 hours.” In that situation, the correct behavior is to avoid guessing, be transparent about the limitation, and shift the episode toward design, context, or clearly-labeled retrospectives until live retrieval is restored. Avoiding hallucinated space headlines Next: why fabricated headlines are uniquely dangerous in space news. When an AI fills gaps with plausible launches, discoveries, or anomalies, it can sound convincing even when it’s wrong—because space stories often share similar patterns and language. The fix is architectural, not rhetorical: separate facts from narration by requiring every story to be anchored to verifiable sources, and by emitting a clear list of source URLs so listeners and editors can trace each claim back to a real document. Daily pipeline: sources and dedupe Now let’s talk about the daily pipeline that makes “last 24 hours” actually enforceable. In production, you’d pull candidates from reputable outlets, filter by publish time, classify by topic, then cluster near-duplicates so ten articles about one launch become one consolidated segment. To avoid repeating yourself across days, you also need memory—a database of what you already covered—so the system can flag reruns and treat ongoing developments as explicit updates, not “new” events. Tone, structure, and TrendTeller On the editorial side, the report lays out a clear sound: professional, calm, and relatable, without technical overload. That means focusing on what happened and why it matters, using jargon only when it genuinely helps, and writing smooth transitions so the episode feels like a guided tour—not a list. And because the host persona is “TrendTeller,” the voice should do more than recite facts: it should connect dots, highlight trends, and add context that helps non-specialists understand the bigger picture. JSON schema and safety guardrails Finally: the JSON contract and the guardrails. A structured output—topics, SEO summaries, intro, per-item scripts, outro, and URLs—makes automation reliable downstream for text-to-speech, show notes, and publishing. But structure alone isn’t enough: you still need validation to catch problems like bullet-point formatting, overly promotional language, missing sources, or segments that run too long for a five-to-ten minute target. The core principle is simple: let retrieval and verification supply the facts, and let the generative model focus on clarity, cohesion, and tone.
