Users can speak directly to the news concierge and receive answers that incorporate information from multiple articles and news sources.
Austin, Texas, April 18, 2024–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The ability to find information online has dominated applications and websites since the late 2000s, progressing from web directories to search engines and eventually content feeds. . However, as the amount of content increases rapidly, consumers find their feeds overloaded with low-quality articles. They want a more direct way to access only the content that interests them.
Otherweb, an AI-powered news aggregator and registered public interest corporation, has introduced News Concierge, a chatbot already used by 9 million people around the world, to its platform. News Concierge provides real-time access to over 900 news sources, covering global news on any topic and local news from over 50 countries around the world.
The chatbot understands the user's questions and can customize answers by topic, time period, or specific details the user wants to include or exclude. This is the first news-specific AI tool that provides one answer by combining information from many news items into one coherent summary with detailed bibliography. It can also remember your recent queries and adapt to your preferences over time.
“We believe we have reached 'Peak Feed'. Users are tired of scrolling for hours to find what they want. Imagine being able to call and ask us to customize your show tonight with news just for you,” said Alex Fink, CEO and Founder of Otherweb. “Otherweb is a public benefit corporation, so we are focused on the quality of information above all else.
