A new piece lands every morning at 06:00 UTC.

How we cover it

71 platforms. One newsroom.

All AI news is public. Our job is to track every place it shows up — official lab blogs, GitHub trending across 22 topics, the major publications, the aggregators, the newsletters — and write the one brief you actually have time to read. Every two hours.

The Dispatch · Free · Monthly

The reading the brief doesn't have room for.

Ten editorial pieces. One issue. Free.

The Daily Brief is breaking news. The Dispatch is the long form — what those releases actually mean, which skills are worth picking up, and the editorial calls about where the field is heading. Drop your email and the May issue arrives in 90 seconds.

“If you could ask Claude this and get the same answer, the book gets rewritten until you can't.”

Builders ship. We write about what's shipping. The AI ecosystem moves too fast for any one person to keep up with — so we made keeping up with it the job.

Daily brief, monthly dispatch, weekly book. One editorial line, three depths. Pick how deep you want to read.
