Mainstream
The Consensus View
What most coverage is saying. The dominant narrative backed by major outlets, official sources, and expert analysis. The take you'd get from a well-read friend who follows the news.
AI-Powered News Briefings
News in 90 seconds.
Three perspectives.
Zero echo chamber.
QuickTake delivers trending topics as swipeable, audio-narrated briefings — each one broken into Mainstream, Contrarian, and Wildcard takes so you actually think about what you read. Every perspective cites real sources.
Built for busy professionals who want to stay sharp, not just stay busy.

Daily Batches
Staying informed shouldn't feel like a chore. Or a trap.
Your feed already decided what you think.
Algorithms serve you more of what you already believe. You scroll for hours and come out with the same opinion you walked in with. That's not staying informed. That's confirmation on repeat.
You don't have 45 minutes for a podcast recap.
Articles are 2,000 words long. Newsletters stack up unread. You just want to know what's happening, why it matters, and what people are missing — fast.
You consume content in vertical swipes.
But news still looks like it was designed for people who read newspapers at breakfast. The format hasn't caught up to how you actually consume information.
How It Works
Three swipes. Three perspectives. Fully briefed.
1
Swipe Through Trending Topics
Open QuickTake and swipe vertically through today's biggest stories — politics, tech, culture, sports, business. New topics drop in three daily batches matched to your timezone. It feels like scrolling Reels, except you actually learn something.
2
Hear Every Side
Each topic has three perspective cards you swipe between horizontally: Mainstream (the consensus), Contrarian (smart pushback), and Wildcard (the angle nobody's talking about). Each is ~75 words with a 30-second AI-narrated audio briefing.

Go Deeper When You Want To
Some stories deserve more than 90 seconds. With Pro, tap Go Deeper for expanded context and source links. Tap Ask About This to ask the AI a follow-up question — the answer streams in real time. Or open QuickTake Chat and get a full briefing on any topic you type in, on demand.

What people are saying
“I went from doomscrolling Twitter for an hour to getting the same level of informed in my morning commute. The Wildcard perspective alone is worth it — I've brought up angles in meetings that nobody else had considered.”
“I was skeptical about AI-narrated news. Then I listened to three topics while making coffee and realized I knew more about what was happening than after reading my entire newsletter stack. The Contrarian takes are sharp, not performative.”
“My screen time on news apps dropped by 70%, but I actually feel more informed. The three-perspective format rewired how I think about headlines. I catch myself asking 'okay, but what's the contrarian take?' even outside the app.”
