## Build conversation

**User:** make a pipeline that reads hackernews and tags each story whether it's ai or not.

**Jason:** I’ll build a saved pipeline that reads Hacker News stories and tags each as AI or not AI. I’ll start with the top 30 stories; the saved data can be refreshed later or put on a schedule.

**Jason:** Got it—hourly updates, and I’ll share the public page when it’s ready. At 30 stories per update, that’s about 21,600 collected rows per 30 days. Tags will use each story’s title, URL, and any text posted on Hacker News, rather than the full linked article.

**Jason:** The pipeline is built and scheduled hourly. The first 30-story update is running now; I’ll verify the results and share the public page when it finishes.
