Intelligence Center

What It Is

The Intelligence Center is the scheduling and delivery layer that sits on top of FrankenCoder's research engine. You define what you want to know about, how often, how deep, and where the report should land. The system runs autonomously — gathers sources, curates findings, classifies urgency, and delivers an executive summary to your inbox or Discord while you're doing literally anything else.

Think of it less as a "daily newsletter" feature and more as a personal analyst on retainer. One that doesn't sleep, doesn't bill hourly, and doesn't miss a day because of a long weekend.

One real run, May 13, 2026:

• 10 topics — AI models, IPOs, security threats, local model releases, research grants…

• Generated overnight at 22:45 local

• Delivered: Email + Discord + local file archive

• Output: Executive summary + 1,800-line full report

• First headline: "CRITICAL: Mini Shai-Hulud Supply Chain Attack — 170+ npm packages compromised. Action required."

Diff Mode — Track Stories, Not Just Headlines

Every "daily intelligence" product has the same problem: by week two you’ve muted it. The same stories show up. The report grows longer. You start skimming. You stop opening it.

Diff Mode is the structural fix. Day 1 gives you the full landscape. Every run after that tracks each story across time and tells you exactly what state it’s in:

NEW — first time this brief has reported on it
UPDATED — something specific changed, with explicit "previously reported X, now Y" framing
RESOLVED / DOWNGRADED — the story is over. You can stop watching.
ONGOING — NO CHANGE — still active, no news this cycle, but you stay aware

Plus a Key Findings — New Deltas section that does pattern-level synthesis across stories: "Baseline noted X. NEW delta reveals Y. Category shift from A to B."

The RESOLVED signal is the one nobody else ships. Every other intel product buries you in alerts. Diff Mode tells you when an alert is over.

Tune Every Schedule Independently

Schedules aren't one-size-fits-all. Hourly competitor monitoring shouldn't pay frontier-model prices. Weekly literature review should. The Create Schedule modal exposes every knob:

FREQUENCY

Hourly · Every 4 hours · Daily · Weekly · Custom. Each schedule independent.

MODEL

Pick the model per schedule. Cheap models for low-stakes monitoring, premium for serious analysis. Local models for free.

DEPTH

Flash (1-3 sources) · Standard (2-4) · Deep (5-10). Cost vs. quality, your call.

EXEC SUMMARY

Optionally generate a skimmable executive summary across all topics after the full report completes.

DIFF MODE

Track every story across runs. Each report tags items as NEW, UPDATED, RESOLVED, or ONGOING — including pattern-level deltas in Key Findings.

DELIVERY

Discord, email, local file — toggle independently per schedule. Security to one channel, fun to another.

Run 100 schedules if you want. Different topics, different frequencies, different models, different channels. The system doesn't care.

Two Channels, One Engine

The same brief lands in the format that fits the channel. Email gets the polished HTML executive summary. Discord gets a parsed, scrollable version delivered to whichever channel you pointed the webhook at. The full report — usually 1,000+ lines for a multi-topic run — archives to a local file you can search later.

Honest note on email: Email reading and delivery has been tested with Gmail. Other providers may work, but we haven't verified them. If you're not on Gmail, treat it as experimental for now.

Discord Delivery

Discord delivery works through a standard incoming webhook. When FrankenCoder posts to your webhook, Discord displays the message under whatever name you gave the webhook during setup — "Captain Hook" is just Discord's default display name for new webhooks, nothing we named or built.

Point it at a personal server, a team channel, or a security ops channel. Each schedule can route to a different webhook, so threat intel and weekly market analysis don't have to share a feed.

Honest note on Discord: FrankenCoder posts to a Discord webhook that you set up and control. You need your own Discord server — or an existing one you have access to — with an incoming webhook created in the channel you want reports in. Paste that URL into FrankenCoder and you're done.

We have no involvement with Discord beyond sending the HTTP request to your webhook. We don't host a bot, manage servers, or see your channel. It can be a private server just for you, a shared server with your team, whatever you want — Discord's setup, not ours.

Who This Is For

Security teams — Daily CVE / supply chain / vendor advisory digest. Diff Mode flags new threats vs. yesterday's noise.
Founders — Competitor monitoring on autopilot. Track product launches, pricing changes, funding rounds, hiring patterns.
Researchers — Literature monitoring across keywords. Weekly digest of new papers and preprints with citations.
Investors — IPO watch, earnings dates, sector news, regulatory changes — all curated, all delivered.
Devs — New model releases, framework changes, breaking API changes, ecosystem health. Wake up already informed.
Anyone who used to read 30 newsletters — Now you read one brief.

The Architecture Under the Hood

The Intelligence Center isn't a standalone product. It's composed from primitives that already exist in FrankenCoder:

Deep Research — the underlying interactive research engine
Research Assistant mini-agent — the curation layer that turns millions of tokens into hundreds
Document Intelligence — every report you generate is automatically indexed and semantically searchable later
Multi-channel delivery — Discord webhooks, SMTP, local archive

There are no default schedules. You build your own — your topics, your frequency, your models, your channels. That's the point. It's meant to be personal.
