The weekly Rome events agent

Three stages with different responsibilities

The flow is collector → editor agent → publisher. A PHP collector reads the Turismo Roma Roma Live calendar and a sample of event pages; an optional Codex worker selects IDs through JSON; the publisher revalidates candidates and creates blog cards. The deterministic path also works without AI. A cron running only PHP is automation; the AI agent is the separate review stage, rather than a label for the parser.

The source and the week

The collector accepts only https://www.turismoroma.it and approved paths, without following redirects. It reads robots.txt and waits at least 10 seconds between requests. It visits at most eight pages, making this a sample rather than the entire city calendar. A Europe/Rome week begins Monday and ends before the next Monday; inclusive event date ranges qualify when they overlap that period. Missing dates or changed markup require review.

What to check as you practise

• Source and dates retained; explicit week.
• Errors excluded and reported.
• No DB credentials given to the AI worker.
