@nikitaeverywhere Currently our app fetches and summarize each news article for you but won't summarize all the news articles in a day. Would a daily summary of all news be useful for you?
How about those news which need to be paid to unlock?
Great question! So we use something called RSS to fetch the latest contents from major news websites for you. Even if some news websites guard their contents behind a paywall, they still publish contents to this RSS format daily. And RSS is free to use, and we use it to summarize news articles and bring them to you.

Good vision.
Execution not good enough for me.
What business model do you imagine?
How do you plan to get access to content? License deals?
@david_berrebi thanks for trying it out and sharing honest feedback! we’re a small team of three working on this part-time, and we hope to move faster and make the app much better. once it’s ready, we’ll introduce paid tiers. the free tier will cover a limited number of topics, and the paid tier will unlock more. right now we use RSS to get content since it’s an open protocol. in the future, we’ll start working with creators directly.
@jason123 Hey Jason! Thanks! Currently almost all of our sources are English based. We are testing how our app goes right now, and if it goes well, we might plan to support other non-English sources as well in the future!
I often struggle to keep up with the fields I’m interested in. Sometimes I spend an hour or more jumping between tech news sites, X, and LinkedIn, only to feel like I’ve gained nothing.
That got me wondering: what if I could build a news tracker that gathers news from across the internet and just works for me?
So we built A01, your personal news agent that follows your instructions.
🙋 Tell your agent what you want to follow (go as niche as you like!)
🤖 The agent digs through thousands of credible sources—like The Verge, TechCrunch, Hacker News, NYT, The Guardian, arXiv, IEEE, Nature, Frontiers, The Conversation, and more.
🗞️ You get fresh articles delivered every few hours. Simple!
We’ve been building alongside 1000 early users, and here’s what they’re following:
Industry updates like AI, crypto, and fintech
Research papers in areas like physics, ML, and HIV
Market movements across different sectors
Our vision is bigger than just news. We want to give you control over what you read in today's noisy information world. We'd love to have you join our building journey. Please let us know your thoughts and feedback!
a powerful news agent!
congrats on the launch!

Does it just assemble news for me, or also produces TL;DRs or summaries of the daily news?

Looking for similar tool for a while, I like this one! How about those news which need to be paid to unlock?

looks interesting.
how are you getting your news sources? RSS or an LLM API like exa or similar?

@dcsan hey! we are using RSS

Great job on building this!
I’d love to know if A01 supports non-English sources as well. Best of luck with the launch!
