About The Masthead: AI News Briefing
The Masthead turns the world's news into a feed you can actually keep up with — translated into your language by AI, summarized into clear briefs, and read aloud whenever you'd rather listen than read. Follow the sources you trust, add any RSS feed or podcast, and let your personalized "My Feed" learn what matters to you. Open any story for a full AI deep dive, ask follow-up questions, or wake up to a personalized audio briefing every morning. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Read AI news briefs translated into your language, across every feed • Tap any story for a full in-depth AI analysis — context, why it matters, multiple perspectives • Listen instead of reading — AI narration for your feed, articles, and a daily Morning Briefing • Discuss the news with AI — ask questions, get clarifications, explore angles • Subscribe to unlimited podcasts — original audio, free, with background playback • Turn hour-long episodes into a 2–4 minute spoken review in your language • Track any topic over time with custom Story Arcs that update automatically • Bring your own sources — paste any RSS feed, podcast, or channel • Add a home-screen widget for headlines at a glance BUILT FOR A GLOBAL AUDIENCE Read your briefs in your language and switch freely between them.
