Shroomie is an AI-powered news app that makes reading fun, effortless and habit-forming. Every story is bite-sized and interactive, and every day you read, you grow a mushroom garden — turning daily news into a game. AI handles everything behind the scenes, from sourcing stories and generating visuals to personalizing your feed.
Every news product we tried was solving what to show us, not how it felt to read.
AI has given us smarter curation and better summaries, but the reading experience remains fundamentally... boring to us.
So we asked: what if reading the news actually felt fun?
Shroomie makes news bite-sized and interactive. We designed an immersive flow where you can effortlessly skim through your feed, react, and deep dive on topics of your interest.
Every day you read, you grow a mushroom garden. We believe the best habits aren't built through discipline — they're built through play. After every session, you walk away with something real: a garden that grew, and a mind that did too.
AI powers everything behind the scenes — sourcing stories, generating visuals and summaries, and deep-dive research. A personalization engine combines ML and LLMs to curate a feed tailored to each reader.
Check us out on App Store! This is our v1, and we're shaping what comes next with early adopters. Try it and let us know what you'd change!
Congrats on the launch! Love how Shroomie focuses not just on what news to show, but how it feels to read it. The bite-sized format + interactive flow + mushroom garden habit loop makes staying informed feel much more playful and less overwhelming.
Curious how you think about personalization, source diversity, and avoiding filter bubbles as the product grows. Excited to try it!
Congrats on the launch, I love whimsy software! 🍄 Too many news sites spam you with ads rather than making the content experience actually delightful.
Love the asking follow ups, what other AI features do you have planned?
Congrats on the launch! I'm in love with your mascot and couldn't resist leaving a comment 😅🍄 Where did the metaphor of growing a mushroom garden come from?
Hi Chenglai
I love the name Shroomie. Is this for adults/young kids or both? Who is your target audience?
Also do you integrate with news platforms and if so which ones?
The mushroom characters are super adorable! Were they AI-generated, or designed by an illustrator?
this is good for micro learning, I would like to know how do you profile user or are you sending same news to everyone. and what is the frequency and how do you choose the frequency ?
Congrats! How deep does the personalization go? Can I control what topics I see, or does it learn on its own over time?
Just downloaded it. How granular does the personalization get? Can I tell it I want more tech and zero politics, or is it more of a black box?
