It generates a daily 5 to 10 minute audio news brief based on the topics you select (including niche topics). The pipeline runs automatically each morning: fetch news, dedupe/rank stories, generate short scripts, create TTS, then assemble a single brief.

Stack: Next.js + TypeScript + Supabase + NewsAPI.ai + OpenAI/Claude.

There is a public listen page if you want to try it quickly: https://pulsemedialaboratories.com/listen

I’d love feedback on: 1. Is the brief quality useful enough to replace morning headline scrolling? 2. Does anything feel off in the listening experience? 3. What would make you trust the summaries more?

Listening experience is good, what is the main end goal of the project? What exactly do you expect yourself/others to get out of it?

The goal is basically to make staying informed low-effort.

Instead of checking a bunch of different sites or doomscrolling feeds, the idea is you can just listen to one short daily brief in the morning.

For me personally, success would be replacing fragmented news checking with a single daily habit. The main things I'm trying to optimize for are:

1. personalization (only topics you actually care about) 2. time efficiency (around 5–10 minutes) 3. clarity (ranked stories with links to sources)

Right now I'm mostly trying to see if this is something people would actually use consistently. If it seems useful, the next step would be improving the trust/quality side and making personalization deeper based on real usage.
