Why I built it
I always had a list of things I wanted to learn about: international news, neuroscience, what’s happening around Berkeley. But it was hard to actually start. Every time I sat down, I spent twenty minutes deciding which sources to read. There was always so much to catch up on that, frankly, I usually never started.
What it does
- You give it one sentence. “Keep me updated on AI” and “teach me how AI works” lead to completely different briefings.
- It searches the web, arXiv, RSS feeds, and online discussions. If thirty sources are covering the same story, it turns them into one useful update and explains it based on what you already know.
- It remembers what you’ve seen, opened, finished, or already understood, then uses that to decide what to show you tomorrow.
Use it if you want to consistently learn more but don’t want to keep deciding what to learn next.
