AverPoint is a more elegant news experience that inspires learning instead of outrage. Our tools empower individuals to navigate the world's information crisis, and help you make better choices for yourself, your family, and free societies. Our app suggests articles based on what you’re reading - that aim to broaden and deepen your understanding. Instead of send you down the rabbit hole and reinforce your biases, we aim to help you read about new topics, from multiple perspectives, and across more geographies. Our app also gives you an analysis of what you’re reading, and helps you set weekly goals to improve. We measure what you read on our app, and you can also share articles from other apps to AverPoint - like sharing a link to Twitter. Our app also integrates with our browser extension, which can measure what you read in the background. As you advance in AverPoint, we introduce our “credibility layer” - which encourages you to participate as you read. You can question claims, see the author’s underlying evidence, and request expert reviews. Empowered individuals are our best defense against rising authoritarianism.
