About

Last year: 28 AI newsletters. 200+ bookmarks labeled "read later" (never did). arXiv every morning like a ritual. And still — missed the one paper directly relevant to what we were building. The problem isn't access. It's filtering signal from noise across hundreds of fragmented sources. 242,000+ AI papers last year. NeurIPS submissions up 61%. 4.3M repos on GitHub. No human can track this. So we built what we wished existed. AIssential aggregates 450+ sources — from arXiv and IEEE to Andrej Karpathy's YouTube — and delivers what matters to your role, interests, and expertise level. Drop your GitHub URL, describe what you build, and your feed is ready in 60 seconds. Key takeaways. Filters by topic, code, content type, field, proficiency, reading time, and authors. One place. Zero noise.

450+ AI sources. One feed. Filtered to your role.

Hey ProductHunt,

I'm building AIssential 450+ AI sources (arXiv, newsletters, YouTube channels, podcasts) filtered down to exactly what matters for your role.

The problem: AI moves faster than any individual can track.
Even a full-time engineer or PhD can miss a critical paper or architecture analysis just by taking a long weekend.
I know because it happened to me.

9 months in the making. Early access is live at aissential.tech would love feedback from this community before launch.
