+# News Summarizer Agent
+
+A beginner-friendly Fetch.ai agent that fetches top news headlines for any topic using [NewsAPI](https://newsapi.org/) and summarizes them using the [ASI:One](https://asi1.ai/) LLM.
+
+## What It Does
+
+1. You provide a topic (e.g. "AI", "climate", "sports")
+2. The agent fetches the top 5 latest headlines from NewsAPI
+3. The headlines are sent to ASI:One LLM for summarization
+4. A short, readable summary is printed to the terminal
+
+## Tech Stack
+
+- Python 3.10+
+- NewsAPI - free tier, no credit card required
+- ASI:One - Fetch.ai's LLM API
+- requests - HTTP calls
+- python-dotenv - environment variable management
+
+## Setup
+
+### 1. Clone the repo
+
+git clone https://github.com/fetchai/innovation-lab-examples.git
