Title: I built an AI news app for Australia as a solo dev. Roast the idea before I spend more time on it. Hey all. OzBrief is a free app that pulls Australian news from ABC, SBS, Guardian, Nine and News Corp. The AI writes a short summary of each story, and every summary links back to the original article. You swipe through like TikTok for news, and you can ask the AI if you want more detail on a story. No account needed, no data collected, no ads. What I've learned so far: People's first reaction is "AI makes mistakes", so I keep a public log of every error. People's second reaction is "my phone already has a news app". I'm still working on my answer to that one. I'd love feedback on: Would you trust an AI summary of the news? How would you get the first few thousand users without ad money? Any Aussies here: does it actually save you time? ozbrief.com.au   submitted by   /u/SeveralRadish5686 [link]   [comments]
