Why We Built Signal Brief

We were exhausted. Every morning, we'd open our news apps and feel that familiar mix of anxiety, anger, and confusion. The headlines screamed at us. Every story picked a side. Every article left us more divided than informed.

We realized modern news isn't broken by accident—it's broken by design. When advertising funds journalism, engagement becomes the only metric that matters. Anger drives clicks. Division drives shares. Confusion drives return visits.

So we asked ourselves: What if we removed advertising from the equation entirely? What if we built a news service funded only by readers? What if AI could help us extract facts from opinion at massive scale?

Signal Brief is our answer. We aggregate 130+ sources daily, extract just the facts, and deliver what matters in 5 minutes. No spin, no sides, no BS. Just the information you need to understand your world.

Our Mission

🎯 Facts First

We extract facts from opinion using advanced AI. Every story includes multiple sources so you can verify everything yourself. We're not gatekeepers—we're guides.

💰 Reader-Funded Only

No ads, no sponsors, no conflicts of interest. Ever. When readers pay directly, we can focus on quality over clicks. Your subscription keeps us independent.

⏱️ Respect Your Time

5 minutes, once a day. We do the work of reading hundreds of articles so you don't have to. Get informed without the endless scroll.

🔍 Radical Transparency

Our methodology is public. Our biases are acknowledged. Our mistakes are corrected. We show our work because trust must be earned daily.

🛡️ Privacy by Design

We use minimal cookies, no tracking pixels, and no behavioral profiling. Your data stays yours. We make money from subscriptions, not surveillance.

🤖 AI for Good

We believe AI should augment human intelligence, not replace it. Our technology helps us process more sources and reduce bias—but humans set the standards.

Our Commitment to You

We will never have ads. We will never sell your data. We will never optimize for engagement over truth. We will never let growth compromise quality.

We exist to serve our readers, period.
