Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Ben, CEO and co-founder of informed. We're changing the way you consume news. It’s a time of massive change in the news industry and our team is always thinking of new ways to give you the news you need, in whatever form you need, no matter how much time you have. Today we’re delighted to launch our brand new article summaries. They distil the crucial points of the best articles from the world’s biggest publishers so that you can get the top lines on the go. Our summaries are created with the help of AI, which is trained on our trusted content and then fact-checked and edited by our experienced in-house editorial team who select all of our articles. If you haven’t heard of informed, our mission is to become the go-to app for news curation and consumption. We believe human curation is the key to diverse news, so our editors and experts read hundreds of articles every day, selecting and suggesting only the best. We’d love you to try out our new summaries feature and let us know what you think, they are totally free to read! If you’d like to read or listen to our articles in full, you can get a double-length free trial with the code FREEMONTH during our launch. Start your free trial by heading to your app store and searching for 'informed news'. Thanks for your support! https://get.informed.so/qSlM/PH

Huge congrats on the launch! 🚀 As important as it is to stay informed, we don't always have the time, so I'm excited to try out the summaries feature. How quickly can the summaries be published, given that they also get fact-checked by editors (which btw is a very good idea, since AI can definitely make mistakes)? Is it possible to summarize breaking news or other time-sensitive articles?

Congrats on the launch, Ben & your team! As a long-time tech enthusiast, I'm impressed with your AI-driven approach to news curation. How do you ensure a diverse range of perspectives in your summaries? Keep up the great work!

Interesting.One thing annoying about the premium articles is not knowing the quality before buying the subscription. People have gotten very good at baiting. Int hat sense the summaries could help a lot. Have a great launch! :D

What parameters do you filter on? interest query at onboarding or some kind of AI algo?

Great news! The summaries provide a quick and efficient way to stay informed and up-to-date. Highly recommended, and congrats on the launch!

Do you have a page about your pricing? It does look cool.. but I guess it depends how much it costs. I've also been hoping someone will put together a news reader that will take compare news stories in different languages to give the reader a more balanced view. EG: How is the latest news about the US debt ceiling talked about in the USA vs Germany vs Japan

New needs bring new ways of doing things. Informed News:Summaries brings new ways of consuming news. Congrats on the launch of a product to bring new ways of consuming news. What has been the reaction of users?

I had this installed already. It's pretty cool. Love your logo, too; it really stands out against all the other apps.
