Revolutionizing news reading with a free service based on AI
Newsadoo is the "Spotify for News": With a service based on AI, Machine Learning, and Natural Language Processing, we are enhancing and revolutionizing the news reading experience, cross-device, and free of charge. Our aim? To make news exciting again.
While a good looking app and I get the AI side of it, the issue is you are collecting news from various sources, all of which I believe you have little control over as a user. And so I am probably going to get news stories from sources that I am not interested in or have differing political views to me.
This is why news sites like Feedly are more successful because you can add the news you want, and not the stuff you don't want.
It is okay to say "well you can subscribe to local, national, sport" etc, but people want interest-based news that is specific to their needs and not a broad spectrum of topics in their area, that can be biased or overwhelming with topics they have no interest in.
I think there is a big gap in the market for a News app, but taking it from multiple sources and clumping it all together in a mish-mash as a default feed is the wrong market. It needs to be an actual news app, creating news stories to target an audience rather than a one-size-fits-all that people may not have an interest in, that is a rehash of news sources they may not agree with or like, that has been mashed up by AI to make it look fresh.
@exopaul We really appreciate your comment, Paul! 🙏
What we're doing differently here is that, as a user, you do have control over which sources you get your news from. While we're not completely hiding seemingly irrelevant sources, to avoid the "filter bubble", your personalized timelines will only give you news stories from the sources you have selected.
Furthermore, the system learns over time what you're interested in and gradually improves your news recommendations—which of course will reduce the amount of irrelevant content.
@exopaul Thank you very much Paul, for your opinion and your feedback! 🙏
At Newsadoo we are combining a personalized news feed (self-learning timeline based on interests of users supported by our AI, as my colleague Alexander pointed out) and top news from your country, as well as different opinions on a topic.
Users can choose to investigate various viewpoints concerning an event – and hence, can break out of their filter bubble. 🙂
@exopaul This becomes more apparent when you are a non-American non-European audience. Most of the news apps get a hoard of US- and European- centric sources making the content far away from relevance. That's where applications like Feedly become so valuable.
Hey,
I'm Anna from Newsadoo! We are currently trying to improve our product experience and are looking for feedback! We would love to hear what you have to say.
What's Newsadoo about?
We are a 'Spotify for News'. With AI, Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing we create a unique, self-learning news feed for every reader, that can be accessed cross-device. Furthermore, we are showing our users a way out of their filter bubble with our bundle function, that provides an overview on how different media write about one topic. Readers can follow their favourite topics with our channels.
What to expect?
A fun news reading experience and articles from a great variety of local, regional, national and international newspaper and magazines. This content is made available for you in a feature-packed service, that can be downloaded for free and used on Android, iOS, Alexa, ...
We are looking forward to your feedback and kind regards from Austria!
It's a really solid concept, and there's a lot of potential here, but the onboarding flow is weak, forcing you to choose news outlets from a massive list that you are unable to breakdown into topics or subjects, many are political and sports and little are tech-focused. The platform also seems to be focused for the German market more than the english market right now, so there are many major publications that do not exist, and many of the topics are all filled with german news. There doesn't seem to be a way to filter this to only have english results across the board.
