The catch this week

Thursday's Top 10 led with the India AI Impact Summit.
Three months later, it became UPSC Prelims 2026, Q65.

On the night of 19 February 2026, our engine ranked PRID 2230090 — "Prime Minister inaugurates India AI Impact Summit 2026" at the very top of the day's filter. A subscriber reading their 10 PM digest that night had it under their eye for free. On 24 May 2026, Prelims Question 65 asked about the New Delhi AI Impact Declaration — directly from that release.
