Our infrastructure has gotten a lot more reliable, and we're defaulting to longer retention periods by default.

Introducing @deepnewz — live as a Farcaster news Mini App.

Our AI collects, writes and organizes news in real time, based on tens of thousands of sources, on topics from tech to sports to crypto to international.

Thanks @patze for amazing app and @ted for notes and suggestions. It really is fun building on Farcaster!

DeepNewz works by listening to news sources in real time. From CNN, Fox News, Bloomberg and industry publications, to bloggers and first party sources like @vitalik.eth and OpenAI. 

It aggregates the information in real-time, and writes short articles with headlines, quotes and citations.

We do this across hundreds of topics and niches, including international sources that are translated to English by the AI.

Looking forward to building on Farcaster and let us know improvements you’d like to see next!
