About The Brief

We're building the news service we wanted but couldn't find.

The Problem

Every morning, the same stories get told 100+ different ways. Each outlet adds spin, angle, and agenda. By the time you've read three versions, you're not more informed—you're more confused and frustrated.

Modern news isn't broken by accident. When advertising funds journalism, engagement becomes the only metric that matters. Anger drives clicks. Division drives shares. Confusion drives return visits.

We extract facts from opinion at scale. Our editorial team sets strict standards for neutrality and verification. Our technology applies them across 60+ sources daily. You get unbiased news in 5 minutes.

How We Work

Our editorial team sets the standards. We define what qualifies as fact versus opinion, which sources to trust, and how to present news without bias. Every brief is human-reviewed before delivery.

Technology helps us scale this process across 60+ sources daily—reading hundreds of articles, identifying the most important stories, and applying our editorial standards consistently. Human editors verify facts, assess importance, and make final decisions about what you read.
