#news: one feed for all channels

You follow nearly a hundred channels, and the news you want drowns in ads, reposts and memes. 📰 #news suggests moving your channels into one app where AI helps cut the clutter.

The bot calls itself a personal news assistant: you move your channels in, and a filter drops the irrelevant material.

One screen instead of a hundred chats

Channels usually sit in the general chat list among conversations. To read the news you open each one in turn.

#news gathers posts into a single feed. A web version of the feed exists too, so reading is not tied to the messenger alone.

Two commands you need right away

• /menu opens the app's main menu.
• /digest sends the latest news.

That is enough to get a quick summary in a minute without opening the whole feed. Handy in the morning or in a queue.

Moving your channels over

1. Open the bot and launch the mini app.
2. Add the channels you read most often.
3. Look at what the feed shows and remove sources that only make noise.
4. Request /digest once a day, or open the feed yourself.

Start with five to ten channels instead of every subscription. That makes it easier to see whether the filter matches your interests.

What to expect from the AI filter

The filter helps drop irrelevant posts, but it cannot read your mind. Sometimes it hides a post you would have liked, and sometimes it lets an ad through.

• Check the original channels now and then for topics that matter.
• Do not treat the feed as your only source on politics, health or finance.
• Verify big stories at the primary source.

A feed built from channels reflects the choices of their authors. If it contains only like-minded voices, you see half the picture. 🧭

Setting your own reading rhythm

A feed without rules quickly turns into one more endless stream. Decide in advance when you read the news and stick to it.

• Morning. Request /digest and skim the headlines in five minutes.
• Daytime. Open the feed only on purpose, for example to check the market or a work story.
• Evening. Remove sources that gave you nothing all day.

Who saves time here

People who read many channels for work: markets, tech, science, local news. A single stream instead of dozens saves attention, and a digest on command keeps you informed when there is no time to scroll.

If you follow only a couple of channels, a separate app is probably unnecessary. 🙂
