I'm building https://www.brief.news, an AI powered newsletter that condenses tens of thousands of news articles into a daily briefing of the top stories, we support 30 topics today and are adding the ability to add your own!

Stack is a combination of TypeScript (Next / Node) + Python with a pretty simple deployment setup right now (GHA -> Container -> Cloud Run).

How much money you need to spend per day on OpenAI api?
A lot! We’re actively reducing that though by training our own specialized models. We’re seeing equal or better performance with curated datasets at > 10x cost reduction.
This is pretty cool. Just a heads up: there's a french newsletter company I was subscribed to that is using brief.eco, brief.me and brief.science. Ironically, their main selling point is summarized news but by humans.
There’s definitely a need here, love the category specific TLDs.
This looks awesome - might I suggest splitting the headlines on the homepage into a punchy title and subtitle? The wordiness of them makes it difficult for me to parse them for the topic quickly
Thanks! We got a couple different formats available, check out the top stories format which is close to what you suggest. Would love to hear your thoughts on it! We’re considering making that the default.
Have you considered a weekly version as well - I personally don't like receiving daily e-mails
great stuff, for general news-synthesis I use https://www.newsminimalist.com/ definately check it out!
This is fairly well done, good job!

The layout is clean, and it's fast. The summaries are solid as well.

Thanks!
