Gem is the best app for staying updated with the latest tech and finance news. Powered by AI, Gem gives you concise and personalized news summaries that cater to your interests.
I’ve been using Gem for a couple weeks now, and it’s been a fun way to curb my auto-pilot instincts of opening Reddit or social media whenever I pick up my phone. The app is really simple: open it up and read headlines + 3 key takeaways of the latest tech news.
It’s very very fast and fluid, so you’ll quickly know whether or not this is for you. At first, I didn’t know if I’d consistently use Gem over my other news apps, but it’s so tempting to open up given how simple/rewarding it is to browse. It feeds my fidgeting fingers because everything is just a swipe or tap away, and I like that it takes me <10 seconds to feel baseline familiar with any story that pops up.
I came across Gem because Ian and Prabhdeep have been building out in the open, pulling feedback from wherever they can get it and making improvements super quickly. This is definitely an app I’m going to keep an eye on (it hasn’t left my home screen yet!), especially as someone that consumes way too much tech news and often times in the most distracting way possible. Right now, Gem has a lot of potential and it’s already shaping up to be my favorite way to mindlessly binge content that’s actually useful to know.
Congrats to @ianmendiola and @prabhdeep_gill for launching, and thanks for sharing Gem with me!

Who hunted Gem?
Gem was hunted by Daniel Ha. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
