Hi HN,
I recently won Best Finance Project in the Perplexity Hackathon for Briefo — an AI-powered finance and news social media app launching in mid-August.
The big idea behind Briefo is simple:
54% of people now get their news from social media, where content is often polarized, shallow, or outright fake. Traditional platforms reward engagement over truth, and credible voices get lost in the noise.
Briefo gives you:
- A personalized AI-powered newsfeed based on your industry and company interests
- Financial insights and deep research reports from trusted sources, curated with Perplexity’s API and real-time web data
- A place to comment, communicate, and engage with an intellectual community
- A Perplexity-powered AI companion that learns what you care about and surfaces relevant info fast
If you’re tired of endless doomscrolling and want signal over noise, I’d love for you to check it out.
