An AI-powered news aggregator that uses RSS feeds, LLM enrichment, and vector embeddings to cluster stories and score them based on novelty and impact. It aims to solve information overload by delivering highly relevant, deeply understood content tailored to individual interests rather than relying on keyword matching.

Why now
Cheap LLM APIs (GPT-4 mini, Gemini) and vector embeddings allow single developers to build sophisticated clustering and semantic understanding engines that were previously too complex or expensive.
Market gap
Current news aggregators rely on basic keyword search, which misses semantic nuance. Social feeds like X are too noisy and lack deep personalization for long-horizon novelty.
