## What is Morning Brief?

Morning Brief delivers 5 curated news stories every morning so you can stay fully informed in just 5 minutes. No endless scrolling, no clickbait — just the stories that matter.

HOW IT WORKS

Every morning, our AI reads hundreds of articles from trusted sources like Reuters, BBC, TechCrunch, and Google News. It picks the 5 most important stories, writes clear summaries, and explains why each one matters to you.

DAILY BRIEFING CARDS
Each card gives you everything you need at a glance:
- A concise 2-3 sentence summary
- A "Why It Matters" insight connecting the story to your life, work, or investments
- A link to the full article if you want to go deeper

LISTEN ON THE GO
Turn your briefing into an audio experience. Listen during your commute, workout, or morning coffee with adjustable playback speed (1x, 1.5x, 2x) and background playback support.

PERSONALIZED FOR YOU
Choose from 8 categories — World News, Business, Tech & AI, Politics, Science & Health, Entertainment, Sports, and Crypto — and get a briefing that matches your interests.

STAY CONSISTENT
Track your reading streaks and completion stats. Morning Brief is designed to become a healthy habit — just 5 minutes a day to be the most informed person in the room.

ARCHIVE ACCESS
