Unfortunately, Known Agents has no information about it beyond the fact that it has been reported in the wild. But I ran another search and found a discussion about “Yandori” on Hacker News. From the creator:\n\n> I built a system that monitors ~200,000 news RSS feeds in near real-time and clusters related articles to show how stories spread across the web. It uses Snowflake’s Arctic model for embeddings and HNSW for fast similarity search. Each “story cluster” shows who published first, how fast it propagated, and how the narrative evolved as more outlets picked it up.\n>\n> User antiochIst on Hacker News\n\nInteresting. While it is not something I would use, I shall allow it so long as it behaves (three consecutive requests in a few seconds for my ATOM feed and a fourth a couple of minutes later seems a bit off, but nothing too alarming in the grand scheme of things.)",
