This AI news app actually made my mornings calmer
I have a bad habit of opening a bunch of news apps in the morning, getting sucked into random stories and then wondering where 30 minutes went. I wanted something a bit more “get the gist and move on”.
A few days ago I was scrolling this sub and saw someone mention CuriousCats AI in the comments. I had never heard of it before, so I just downloaded it out of curiosity and used it for about a week.
It shows a feed of short summaries and you can open a story if you care about it. There is also a Q\&A thing where you can ask stuff like “why does this matter” on some stories. Sometimes it gives a useful bit of context, sometimes it feels a bit generic, but overall it did help me understand a few topics faster.
What I liked is that I was basically done with news in around 10 to 15 minutes most days and did not feel the urge to bounce between different apps as much. It is not mind blowing or anything, but it has been a small improvement to my morning routine, so I am still using it for now.
