Syft

Syft is an AI-native news aggregation platform designed to replace traditional RSS feeds and generic news apps by enabling users to build fully personalized news channels from scratch. Unlike conventional services that offer pre-set categories or topics, Syft allows users to type any subject of interest—whether it is a broad domain like global politics or a niche hobby such as rare orchid cultivation—and instantly generates a dedicated news channel that aggregates content from trusted, curated sources. The platform effectively eliminates noise and language barriers by offering multilingual support and intelligent filtering, ensuring that users only see relevant, high-quality updates. For example, a user interested in Large Language Models (LLM) from Chinese technology companies can create a channel that pulls news from 19 specific sources, including research papers, corporate announcements, and tech blogs, all updated in real time. Syft’s underlying AI engine continuously learns from user behavior, refining topic selection and source prioritization to deliver a highly tailored experience. The app is available on both iOS and Android, accessible via a QR code scan from the camera app. Key features include the ability to customize the number of sources per channel, adjust update frequency, and toggle between top stories and the latest headlines. Users can also follow multiple channels and switch between them seamlessly, much like switching between TV channels but with granular control over content. The interface emphasizes clarity and minimalism, presenting news in a clean, card-based layout with headlines, summaries, and source attribution. Syft also incorporates a “noise reduction” mechanism that suppresses duplicate or low-quality articles, and its language translation
