What is this site?

This site is a curated collection of useful and interesting news, articles, and information from diverse sources.

All content is scored and filtered using AI prompts to focus on the most important and relevant information.

With AI-generated summaries, you can absorb more information in less time.

Why did I build this site?

I created this site not just for fun and learning, but to reduce the time and attention I spend tracking various social media platforms.

It's undeniable that platforms like Twitter and Reddit are incredibly content-rich, filled with countless useful posts and news items.

However, due to platform algorithms, these sites continuously push content you like, causing you to devote a large portion of your time to them. For those with limited self-discipline, escaping the immersive flow of endless scrolling can be nearly impossible.

Therefore, this site aims to consolidate everything into one place, using AI to filter for importance. The goal is to reclaim time for the life we want to live.

What about the operational costs?

The concept of "expensive" can vary. $1 can be affordable for those with jobs, but costly for students.

This site uses multiple AI models to filter, embed, and re-rank the desired news. These include Google's Gemini 2.0 Flash for scoring, filtering, and summarization, also with OpenAI's Text Embeddings v3 Small for vector operations.

On average, the daily operational cost ranges from $1 to $3 in US dollars.

Is this website free to access?

Currently yes, I will remain free to access in order to listen to your feedback.
