Auralys isn’t just another AI powered news app or search engine. Auralys redefines how we stay informed effortlessly reflecting your busy lifestyle. With Auralys in your pocket, you’ll have: ONE SOURCE SUMMARY While Gen. AI continues to bring disruptive innovation, one critical emerging risk is that the information pipeline is breached for everyone and is more fragile than ever. Multi-sourced AI summaries carry a higher risk of being compromised because they may include multiple sources backed by human or AI generated fake data, image, footage, or information, which further erodes the accuracy and authenticity of the summary. We believe that going back to basics - reading a summary from a single, reliable source - delivers a more trusted and higher-quality reading experience compared to multi-sourced summaries. DEEP REPORT Deep Report provides detailed insights and a comprehensive in-depth analysis of the topic you’re reading. FOCUS ON/OFF Activate focus mode to read more faster and comfortably. JOURNALIST NAME DISPLAY Name of the journalist will be shown alongside the source, when user checks the sources to verify facts or get redirected to the original article. By doing so, we want to honor the hard work of journalists as well as want users to have more confidence in the accuracy and authenticity of the news summary. REMINDER PUSH NOTIFICATIONS regarding "Saved" news articles System understands/predicts when user most likely has time and mental capacity. Then it can remind the user to read the article that user saved to read later through a push notification. E.g. Morning commute time, typical lunch time, bathroom break, evening commute time to boost engagement PREDICTIVE PUSH NOTIFICATIONS – REMOVING THE NEED TO EVEN “FOLLOW A TOPIC System automatically keeps user updated on news matters that user engaged with just based on user behaviour in the app. So that user don’t have to actively follow or unfollow topics to stay updated. LIVE MARQUEE A taste breaker, giving users a fresh perspective out of their algorithmic echo chamber. The marquee shows new topics that can spark user’s curiosity and breaking news. PERSONALIZED FEED(HOME) Scroll through an infinite vertical feed of news articles tailored to your interest that dynamically evolves considering your behaviour in the app. CHAT WITH YOUR AI ASSISTANT(ASK) ChatGPT-style Q&A chat format.
