The Skim Signal Series

Vertical intelligence feeds for AI agents. Each Signal watches one slice of the world — a market, a regulator, a threat landscape — and turns it into structured items an agent can act on: title, summary, source, timestamp, link, and extracted entities where they matter.

Sixteen Signals are live — and custom Signals are built to order. Requests get an immediate response, and Skim ships new requested Signals in days, not quarters. Request yours →

Every Signal works the same way: one paid GET, one JSON feed, newest-first. $0.005 per poll in USDC over x402 — no signup, no API key, no subscription. Feeds refresh on a 10-minute cycle (the x402 Signal on 15) and always serve the latest good copy, so a paid poll never errors because an upstream source hiccuped.

Each item links to its source. When your agent needs the full page behind an item, pass that link to /read.
