Discover: Read the News, Then Ask a Follow-Up
A walkthrough of the Discover app: topic tabs, story cards with sources, articles summarized from several outlets, and follow-up questions in chat.

On this page
A headline usually raises a question the article does not answer. Discover is a news feed inside Yantra where the next step after reading is asking.
Open it
Choose Discover in the sidebar, or open /discover. The feed opens on Top.
Six tabs run across the page: Top, Sports, Business, Entertainment, Tech & Science and Arts & Culture. The heading always shows the topic you are on.
Scan the feed
Stories come in groups. A large lead card comes first, with an image and a short summary. Smaller cards follow in a grid, and a wide card closes the group. Every card shows a topic tag, when it was published, and how many sources it draws on.
There is no "load more" button. Keep scrolling and the next stories load on their own. If a topic has nothing new, the page says so instead of showing an empty grid.
Glance at the sidebar
On every topic page a sidebar sits beside the feed with two things worth a glance.
Weather shows the temperature and conditions, today's high and low, and five days ahead. Switch between °C and °F, and the choice is remembered. It starts on San Francisco and moves to your own location if you allow location access in the browser.
Top gainers and Trending companies list five companies each, with ticker, exchange, price and change. Show N more expands a list. Each row links to the company's quote page. The sidebar refreshes every minute and shows when it last updated. Its footer credits the data: Yahoo Finance for markets, Open-Meteo for weather.
Read an article
Open any story and it reads in place, with a Back link to the topic. The article page leads with the tag, the title and a summary, followed by a pill for its main source.
Below that, Summarized from tells you how many sources the article was written from. The published time links to the original article, and up to eight source cards link to each outlet that reported it. Then come the image and the full text.
At the end, Discover more offers up to four other stories from the same topic, so you can keep reading without going back to the feed.
Ask a follow-up
An Ask follow-up box stays pinned to the bottom of the screen while you read. Type a question and press Enter. Shift+Enter adds a new line.
Your question starts a new chat, titled from what you asked. The chat begins with the article's title, summary, link and the outlets that reported it, followed by your question. The agent answers knowing exactly what you were reading. For example:
- "What happened before this, and why does it matter now?"
- "Who are the main people involved?"
- "How did the market react to this?"
From there it is a normal chat, so you can keep going, attach files, or switch the composer to Search for a deeper research run.
What it is not
Discover is for reading and following up. It does not track what you have read, and there is nothing to follow, save or bookmark. A daily news roundup is a scheduled task, such as News Digest or Sports Roundup. A multi-source research run with citations on a question of your own is Deep Search. Something to do tonight is yantra.live.
