Discover

Discover is your reading hub for stories — research articles that Merciv generates automatically from your tracker runs. You set up a tracker once, and finished stories land in Discover on its schedule. Open Discover from the main navigation sidebar, directly below Home. It has two views, shown as tabs at the top of the page:

• Feed — your personal stream: stories from your own trackers, your organization’s trackers, and stories shared with you.
• Explore — a public gallery of published stories organized by topic, browsable even without an account.

​

Stories

A story is an AI-generated research article produced by a tracker run. Each story includes a title, a short summary, a cover image, the full article body with inline citations, an activity panel showing the research steps behind it, and topic tags. Stories are read-only — you consume them, share them, and spin follow-up work off them in chat.

​

The Feed

The Feed shows the stories you have access to in your active organization, newest first. The most recent story appears as a large banner at the top; the rest render as a grid of cards. The Feed loads 25 stories at a time and loads more automatically as you scroll. Filter pills at the top narrow the stream:

• All (default) — every published story you can see.
• My Stories — only stories generated by your own personal trackers.
• Organization Stories — stories your whole organization can read, such as those from organization trackers.

Stories that were shared with you directly (rather than owned by you) show a small Shared badge on the cover image. Switching organizations refreshes the Feed for the new organization. An empty Feed isn’t an error — stories from your trackers appear here as they’re generated, so if it’s empty, check that you have active trackers and that their runs are completing on the Trackers page.

​

Explore and topics

Explore is a public gallery of published, public stories, sorted newest first with the same banner-and-grid layout as the Feed. It’s the one Discover view that works without signing in, so Explore links are shareable with anyone. Topics are the category pills across the top of Explore. They’re a curated taxonomy managed by Merciv — you browse them rather than create them. Click a topic pill to filter the gallery to stories tagged with that topic or any of its sub-topics; click the active topic again, or All, to return to the unfiltered view. Topic pages are directly linkable and also work for signed-out visitors. Tagging is automatic: when a new story is generated, a classifier reads it and assigns matching topics, so stories appear under topics without any manual step. Public stories with no topic don’t appear in Explore — they remain available through the Feed and direct link-sharing. Making one of your organization’s stories public (so it can appear in Explore) is restricted to organization admins. See Sharing and permissions.

Reading a story

Click any story card to open the full article. From the story page you can:

• Summarize — opens the chat panel with a new chat scoped to the story, pre-loaded with “Summarize this story”.
• Track — starts a chat that helps you build a new tracker based on the story, so one interesting article becomes an ongoing monitor.
• More Stories — a grid at the bottom of the page recommending up to four other recent stories.

You can also share a story or manage who can see it from the story page — see Sharing and permissions.
