👋Hey PH! I’m Shengkun, co-founder of A01.

I often struggle to keep up with the fields I’m interested in. Sometimes I spend an hour or more jumping between tech news sites, X, and LinkedIn, only to feel like I’ve gained nothing.

That got me wondering: what if I could build a news tracker that gathers news from across the internet and just works for me?

So we built A01, your personal news agent that follows your instructions.

  • 🙋 Tell your agent what you want to follow (go as niche as you like!)

  • 🤖 The agent digs through thousands of credible sources—like The Verge, TechCrunch, Hacker News, NYT, The Guardian, arXiv, IEEE, Nature, Frontiers, The Conversation, and more.

  • 🗞️ You get fresh articles delivered every few hours. Simple!

We’ve been building alongside 1000 early users, and here’s what they’re following:

  • Industry updates like AI, crypto, and fintech

  • Research papers in areas like physics, ML, and HIV

  • Market movements across different sectors

Our vision is bigger than just news. We want to give you control over what you read in today's noisy information world. We'd love to have you join our building journey. Please let us know your thoughts and feedback!

Nice mix of research and news in one place. Makes keeping up with a field way less scattered. Would be great if it could hint at why a piece matters—context is what turns skimming into actual learning.

I've been looking for something like this for awhile now. Congratulations on your launch. I just joined your Andriod waitlist - looking forward to it 💪🏾

A01 is quite simple and intuitive. I like how I can just tell it what I want to follow and it pulls in the latest news for me. It feels like having a personalized feed without the clutter. Great stuff! 🔥 @shengkun_ye

Really like this, Feels like cutting through the noise is the biggest challenge today. Curious, do most users lean on A01 for broad industry updates (AI, crypto, markets) or for deep niche tracking like research papers?

@shengkun_ye Looks super cool will be testing it

Wow, this is fantastic! Having to dig for content is a whole job in itself.

By the way, I'm suddenly wondering, does the brand name 'A01' have a particular meaning?

A01 is an incredible information tracking assistant! It makes staying updated on my favorite topics so easy. Congrats on your launch.

A01 is your personal news agent, just tell it what to follow, and it delivers the latest articles straight to you. No feeds to manage, no noise just clean, curated updates on what you care about.

Great job on building this!

I’d love to know if A01 supports non-English sources as well. Best of luck with the launch!

I have also recently noticed that the trending news on different social media platforms varies a lot,which creates certain information silos.Perhaps A01 is a good way to break down these information barriers.

looks interesting.

how are you getting your news sources? RSS or an LLM API like exa or similar?

Huge congrats!!!! This is going to be so helpful-no need to endlessly scrolling or jumping through different platforms. Also curious, does it only send recently news, or can it also help dig up past stories? Also, I guess how it’s different from usual algorithms on social media, where liking posts just show more similar content?
