How it works

From hundreds of articles to the ten that matter

A few minutes each morning instead of an hour of tabs. Here's what happens before the brief reaches you.

1. 1

   Read

   Every morning ReadKernel checks about 30 trusted tech and AI news sources: big outlets, company blogs, security trackers, startup news and the Hacker News front page. Anything older than a day and a half, or that is clearly a deal, an ad or a gift guide, is set aside.

2. 2

   Merge

   When several outlets report the same event, you shouldn't read it five times. ReadKernel compares every article with every other one, and when two are about the same launch, deal or incident, they become one story with all the links attached.

3. 3

   Rank

   Stories covered by more sources, from more trusted outlets, and more recently, rise to the top. An AI editor then rates each one for how much it matters to people who work in tech, which pushes real news above filler.

4. 4

   Summarise

   For each story an AI writes a plain headline, a two-to-three sentence summary and one line on why it matters, using only what the sources say. Every summary links back to the original articles, so you can always check the details.

5. 5

   Deliver

   The top 10 become the daily brief, on the site and in your inbox at 6 AM India time. The full feed of about 30 stories is there when you want more.
