FiveW – Stay current on AI in 5 minutes a day

Curated AI news feed -- surfaces the most important AI stories of the day from 100+ sources, in one place 3. Live market signals -- BTC, gold,…

A012025 · a01ai.com · ▲545Hey everyone, I feel like a lot of us have gotten used to social media as our main way to stay informed. It’s where we get our news, trends, opinions, and everything. But honestly, my attention has been wrecked by it. TikTok, X, Instagram... I go in to check one thing and suddenly I’ve lost 90 minutes. So I started wondering what if we could actually control what we see? Like, fully. What if we could own our feed instead of letting the algorithm choose what we scroll through? To play with that idea, I built a small demo app. You just type in what you want to follow, like “recent crypto big…
StayUpAI2025 · stayup.ai · ▲11Hi HN! I just launched StayUpAI, an all-in-one platform to stay ahead in the AI world. It aggregates AI news from multiple sources (articles, research papers, YouTube), then uses AI to summarize all news daily or weekly. Core features: - Unified AI news feed (with source/language/theme filters) - Daily & weekly AI summary emails - Summaries for each news item (papers, YouTube, articles) - Multilingual news (with translation) - Free to start, no personal info needed for a quick test I built this because tracking AI news is overwhelming, and I wanted a tool that does the curation…
fiveminutebriefJun 2026 · fiveminutebrief.ai · ▲6I was listening to a few daily news podcasts every morning to try to keep up with what's going on in the world. I built fiveminutebrief so I can now get my own daily 5-minute podcast episodes for any topic. There are a handful of '5m Topics' that I created public podcast feeds for, so you can listen to those without even signing up in the app. Or if you sign up you can follow any 'Public Topic' for free. Create Custom Topics with a subscription. I would love any feedback!
ai0.newsJul 2026 · ai0.news · ▲12I like keeping myself in the loop of AI progress, and with an amount of things that are happening in the industry it has been quite a challenge. Yes there are plenty of AI newsletters and news-sources, including HN itself. However, all of those require significant time commitment. I was looking for something in a 5-minute-morning-briefing format, so I built it myself. Idea is pretty simple - every morning a pipeline is launched by cron on my raspberry pi. It crawls a few news sources (HN, reddit, tech crunch etc.) , aggregates, deduplicates and rates the news based on importance, then writes…

I decided to build my own AI feeds reader since I wanted features I couldn't find, or at least not in the way I wanted to, for instance: - Filter news by interest/category - Cluster same story from different sources into one - Show short summary of each new so you can skip if it's not really that interesting to you - Track relevant AI figures, but not only their tweets and posts but also their appearences in articles and interviews I'm still tuning it and improving it everyday.
