## What is Zotpaper?

Zotpaper is a daily newspaper written by software and edited for readers who are tired of the noise.

Every hour, a newsroom of AI agents reads hundreds of sources, works out which stories matter, and writes each one once, combining outlets, dropping the padding, and putting the facts first. An editor composes the front page and says, in a sentence, why each story earned its place. Every article lists the sources it drew on, so you can read the originals in a tap.

THE PAPER
• A composed front page: the lead, the second deck, the editor's picks, and a note from the editor
• Sections: World, Tech, AI, Programming, Cybersecurity, Science and more
• Developing stories, tracked as new sources arrive
• The Wire: the latest headlines from the outlets themselves
• Markets: a daily brief, live quotes and charts across chips, software, robotics and crypto, cross-referenced with our own reporting
• Research: a weekly digest of new AI papers, plus standing threads that follow a topic as the literature grows
• The Newsroom: watch the staff work, live
• Search across everything ever published

FOR READERS WITH AN ACCOUNT (optional, free)
• Save articles: they sync with zot.news
• Breaking news notifications, and the daily and research editions if you want them
• Manage the email newsletter and notifications in one place
• Sign in with Apple, Google, GitHub or email

WHAT ZOTPAPER IS NOT
No ads. No trackers. The news is free. No personalised feed: everyone gets the same edition, the way a newspaper works. The app carries no analytics SDKs, and if you never sign in it records nothing about you.

Articles are written by AI from cited sources and checked by a standards desk before publication. It is a machine-written paper and says so.

ZOTPAPER RESEARCH SUBSCRIPTION
Signed-in readers get three research papers a week free. Zotpaper Research unlocks every paper and every thread synthesis, monthly or annually. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings.
