I’ve been waiting to try out Charlie since I first heard about the app in development. Really pleased that day has now arrived and congrats to the team for its launch. I’ve downloaded the iOS app already, seems to work really well and ultra convenient. I’ll be trying it out for my daily news source for sure.

Amazing, thanks Nick! As the days go by you should find that Charlie starts to learn more about what you're missing. Let me know how it goes!
will do, thanks Jim
Have been looking out for this product! Thanks for building this :) great use of chatbot concept.
Maker
Thank you so much Amartya! Really appreciate that. Here's hoping that chatting with Charlie becomes part of your daily routine. 🙌
Excited to use it soon. We have also launched our product today which is also a chatbot use case for skill assessments, would be grateful if you can review and give feedback :)

... so one of the super important things about building is being as transparent as possible from the outset. So, if you're interested: ➜ all of our stats are public (thanks , & !) -- ➜ loads of other metrics are public - see our page and the image I hope I've added to this comment. If you have any other questions you'd like to ask me or the other makers - or stats you'd like to see, just let us know!
Looks really interesting as someone who consumes their daily news from highly curated sources in flipboard and reddit (working on it since 2015 I think) this might be a good alternative to clear the mind from asking is this reliable? will definitely try :)
Maker
Thanks Mustafa. We'd be fascinated to know what you make of Charlie after a few days. Their ability to track evolving stories over time should give you an intriguingly different experience to Flipboard (which I've loved for a long time) & Reddit. What's your first impression?
It’s about time we could have a personal news assistant we can trust-congrats on the 🚀

Thank you so much Sarah. Do let us know your first impressions on meeting Charlie! 🤖
It looks great. Congratulations on your launch!
Maker
Wow, thanks Maria! Let me know what your first impressions are when you meet!
Great product. I just started chatting with Charlie in the browser and I noticed there's an additional "the" here. Otherwise it looks impressive! Congrats on the launch.
Maker
Oh wow! Thanks! I'll take a look at that right away.
I really like that Charlie gives you only slightly growing chunks of information until you start to really really bug them for more info. That keeps the information density at just the right level. I'm wondering: Will Charlie also learn how much info I usually want or will they always just provide me with the headlines / short summaries at first? At least the Android version still has some minor problems, but I'm looking forward to get my International news from now two great products by this Team. 👍
Maker
Thank you so much Benedikt. An international version is on the way! 🚀
It's an interesting product. Congrats on the launch!
Maker
Thank you! ... and thank you! 🙌
Not available for India yet. Any plans to make it available?
Maker
absolutely! To manage our underlying costs, we don't have a huge amount of coverage for publishers in India at the moment... but we 💯 plan to add support. For now, you can chat to Charlie on the web at - to get a sense of how they work. Do you want to give that a go and let me know how you get on?
Maker
I've had an idea (or has given me an idea) Deep... If you like, you can download & play with the beta versions (currently identical to what's in the AppStore) - They should both open in all regions: ➜ ➜
