Agentic AI Engineer — Optimize Our Media Monitoring Stack (Policy / Public Affairs) About the Role We run a media monitoring operation in the public policy space and need an experienced agentic AI engineer to help us **optimize an existing stack** — not build from scratch. We already have a working system; we want to push its quality, precision, and coverage substantially higher. You’ll be working with someone who knows this space and has strong opinions about agent architecture, retrieval strategies, and prompt design. We’re looking for a peer who can pressure-test our setup and make it noticeably better. What We’re Monitoring - **Approximately 600-800 keywords** — policy terms, organizations, named entities, legislation, and topical phrases - **Approximately 600 media sources** spanning: - National and regional news outlets (online editions) - Policy-focused blogs and trade publications - Radio show and podcast websites (show pages, transcripts, episode descriptions) - Social platforms: X (Twitter), Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn - **Search modalities:** Boolean operators, proximity syntax, wildcards/stemming, full-text search, and semantic/vector search The end goal is high-quality, low-noise capture of stories and posts that genuinely matter in the policy conversation — not a firehose of loosely-related hits. Current Stack We’re already running: - **OpenClaw** as our agentic orchestration layer (Telegram-based command surface) - **Claude Sonnet** (via OpenRouter) and **OpenAI Codex / GPT-5.4** as the model backbone - **Exa** for semantic search and retrieval - **Tavily** for web search (currently being phased out — your input on the replacement is welcome) - General web search tooling - Specialist sub-agents handling RSS ingestion, X/Twitter monitoring, and database persistence (PostgreSQL) If you’ve worked with **OpenClaw**, **Hermes**, or similar agentic frameworks (LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, custom orchestration over Anthropic/OpenAI APIs), say so explicitly in your proposal. What We Need You to Do The work is optimization, not greenfield construction: 1. **Improve keyword search precision** — design Boolean/proximity/stemming patterns at scale across 600 keywords; reduce false positives without losing real signal 1. **Strengthen semantic retrieval** — tune Exa usage (and/or recommend complementary tools), improve query formulation, evaluate hybrid keyword + semantic approaches 1. **Increase source quality and coverage** — audit our 600 sources, identify gaps in policy-relevant outlets, and improve ingestion reliability 1. **Optimize agent orchestration** — review how OpenClaw routes work between specialist agents and models; reduce token waste, improve handoffs, tighten prompt design 1. **Improve social media capture** — particularly X, YouTube, and LinkedIn, where access models are constrained and require thoughtful workarounds 1. **Build evaluation loops** — relevance scoring, dedup quality, source reliability tracking, so we can measure whether changes are actually improving output Required Experience - Hands-on experience building or operating **agentic AI systems** in production (orchestration, tool routing, multi-agent handoffs) - Strong working knowledge of **retrieval architectures** — hybrid search, RAG, semantic + keyword fusion, reranking - Deep familiarity with **Claude (Anthropic)** and **OpenAI** APIs, including prompt engineering for retrieval and structured outputs - Experience with **Exa**, **Tavily**, **Brave Search**, or comparable search/retrieval APIs - Working knowledge of **social platform APIs and their constraints** — especially X API v2, YouTube Data API, Meta Graph API, and the realities of LinkedIn access - Comfort with **PostgreSQL** and structured data pipelines - Ability to write tight, modular prompts and reason about token economics Nice to Have - Background in **media monitoring, public affairs, or policy intelligence** - Experience with **[login to view URL]** or similar third-party social ingestion services - NLP work in **named entity recognition, topic clustering, or relevance scoring** - Familiarity with **Telegram bot integration** as an operational surface - Multi-language monitoring experience Important — Please Read Before Applying We’ve already done a fair amount of work on this stack and have specific architectural opinions (small prompts, retrieval-by-reference over giant context, structured systems as authoritative sources, durable notes). We’re not looking for someone to rebuild from scratch or sell us a different product. We’re also realistic about platform constraints: LinkedIn monitoring is structurally limited, X requires paid API access, Meta has tight scraping rules. **Tell us how you’d actually handle each platform** rather than promising blanket coverage. To Apply, Please Include 1. **Specific examples** of agentic AI systems you’ve built or optimized — ideally with retrieval, search, or monitoring components 1. **Your read on our stack** — what jumps out as worth optimizing first, what you’d question, what you’d replace 1. **Your approach to relevance optimization** at the scale of ~600 keywords × ~600 sources 1. **How you’d handle each social platform** given current API realities 1. **Rate** (hourly or project-based) and rough **time estimate** to meaningful improvements 1. **Any clarifying questions** about scope, KPIs, or current pain points We’ll prioritize applicants who engage substantively with the stack and the platform-access realities over generic pitches. If your proposal could have been written without reading this post, we’ll skip it. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Hi I reviewed your brief and can help optimize the existing agentic media monitoring stack rather than rebuilding it from scratch. The main technical challenge is improving relevance across 600–800 keywords and 600 sources while reducing false positives, token waste, duplicate stories, and weak social-platform coverage. I have experience with agentic AI workflows, retrieval architecture, hybrid keyword and semantic search, RAG, PostgreSQL pipelines, OpenAI/Claude APIs, structured outputs, prompt optimization, and evaluation loops. For your stack, I would first audit keyword logic, Exa query formulation, source quality, routing between agents, and where Telegram/OpenClaw handoffs are causing unnecessary context or missed signal. I can help design Boolean/proximity patterns, semantic reranking, dedup scoring, source reliability tracking, and relevance benchmarks so improvements are measurable instead of subjective. For X, YouTube, Meta, and LinkedIn, I would work around real API limits with compliant API-based ingestion, approved third-party providers, RSS/transcript sources, and source-specific monitoring strategies. Thanks, Hercules

Hello I understand you’re looking for an experienced agentic AI engineer to optimize an existing media monitoring stack (not rebuild it), improving precision, retrieval quality, and orchestration across ~600–800 policy keywords and ~600 heterogeneous sources spanning news, podcasts, and constrained social platforms like X, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn. I will focus on tightening your current OpenClaw-based architecture by refining retrieval pipelines across Exa + keyword systems, improving Boolean/proximity query generation at scale, and introducing structured evaluation loops to measure precision/recall drift over time. I will also optimize agent routing between your specialist components (RSS, X ingestion, PostgreSQL persistence) to reduce redundancy, token waste, and low-signal outputs while improving ranking consistency for policy-relevant content. On the retrieval side, I will implement a hybrid strategy combining deterministic keyword expansion (synonyms, legislative variants, entity normalization) with semantic enrichment via Exa and reranking heuristics to suppress noise-heavy sources. For social platforms, I will design realistic ingestion strategies respecting API constraints—using official APIs where possible (X API v2, YouTube Data API), structured scraping fallbacks where compliant, and third-party enrichment services only where necessary, ensuring coverage without violating platform limitations.

Hi — I actually like how opinionated this stack already is. The “retrieval-by-reference + durable notes + small prompts” direction is the right instinct for this class of system. A few things immediately jump out to me as optimization targets: Your biggest leverage is probably not model quality, but retrieval precision and orchestration discipline. At 600×600 scale, small query inefficiencies explode into noise and token waste very quickly. I’d strongly pressure-test where semantic retrieval is helping vs hurting. In policy monitoring, pure vector similarity often over-expands topical adjacency and creates subtle false positives that look plausible but degrade analyst trust over time. I’ve worked on agentic/RAG-style systems using OpenAI + Claude stacks, multi-step orchestration, vector retrieval (Qdrant/Pinecone), structured extraction pipelines. I’m also very comfortable with PostgreSQL-backed ingestion pipelines, evaluation loops, and token-economics optimization. For your retrieval layer, I’d likely move toward: -hybrid retrieval with weighted keyword + semantic fusion -aggressive entity normalization/disambiguation -query classes instead of one-query-per-keyword patterns -reranking stage optimized for policy relevance, not generic similarity -source reliability scoring feeding retrieval priority I’m also interested in how OpenClaw currently routes model selection and memory/reference handling. My guess is there’s meaningful optimization available there alone.

Nice brief — I read the stack and your constraints carefully. You already have the right pieces; the quick win is tightening retrieval, not swapping everything. I’ve worked directly with OpenClaw-style orchestration and Exa in production for a policy monitoring pipeline, where tightening boolean templates plus a small neural reranker cut obvious false positives and raised useful signal without expanding cost. My take on your stack: start with retrieval and prompt handoffs. I’d audit your 600 keywords for pattern families, generate programmatic boolean/proximity variants, add hybrid ranking (keyword boost + Exa semantic rerank), and reduce token waste by moving authoritative context into short references. Tavily can be replaced with Brave Search plus targeted crawlers for policy outlets; keep general web search for discovery. Platform handling: X — budget for paid API + third-party fallback; YouTube — Data API plus transcript parsing; LinkedIn — monitor public pages/profiles and use partner ingestors, not scraping; Meta — use Graph API where possible and respect scraping limits. Rate: $20/hr. Expect visible precision gains in ~2 weeks (40–80 hours). Can you grant read-only access to the repo and a sample week of hits so I can draft a prioritized plan?

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ✅Hi there, hope you are doing well! I recently optimized a media analysis stack with hybrid search and agent orchestration, which improved retrieval precision and cut noise significantly. From my experience, the key to success is carefully tuning retrieval methods and prompt design to balance recall and precision without losing relevant signals. ⭕My approach includes: - Comprehensive audit of your current keyword and semantic search patterns to refine Boolean and proximity techniques - Fine-tuning Exa semantic search and testing hybrid retrieval models for better signal-to-noise - Source quality assessment and gap analysis focusing on policy-relevant outlets - Optimizing OpenClaw routing policies and prompt structures to reduce token waste and improve agent handoffs - Designing workaround strategies for social platform API limitations, prioritizing realistic capture for X, YouTube, and LinkedIn - Building robust relevance scoring and evaluation loops for continuous improvement ❓Could you clarify your primary KPIs for "quality" and "coverage" improvements? ❓Are there particular social platforms where data access is more limited or requires special handling? ❓What current challenges do you face with prompt design or token usage efficiency? I am confident that my agentic AI expertise and hands-on experience with similar retrieval architectures will deliver the noticeable optimization you seek. Looking forward to collaborating with you!
