Stay ahead of the news that actually matters to you — without the noise, the doomscrolling, or an algorithm chasing your attention. Explorer is your personal AI news assistant. Tell it what you care about, and it builds a daily feed and answers your questions in plain language — by text or voice. WHY EXPLORER The internet hands you a million stories a day. Most don't matter. Explorer flips it: you tell the AI exactly which beats, regions, companies, sports, ideas, or people you want to follow — and it does the reading for you. Every morning you get a tight, personalised brief. Any time you want to go deeper, you just ask. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open the app and start a conversation. 2. Tell Explorer what you want to follow — anything from "AI startup funding" to "Premier League scores" to "geopolitics in the Middle East". 3. Everytime you open the app, you get a story about recent news that matches your interests. 4. Ask follow-up questions any time. Explorer pulls the latest context and answers in seconds. KEY FEATURES • Fully personalised feeds — no fixed categories, no editorial bias • Conversational AI chat — ask anything, in your own words • Voice messages — too busy to type? Hold and speak • Quick reply suggestions — refine your interests with one tap • Rich-formatted answers — Every news you read feels like a story you want to follow • Article context — share a story and get an instant summary or a debate partner • Lightweight, distraction-free interface — no infinite scroll, no ads • Works anonymously — no email, no phone number, no signup forms BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO • Read 30 newsletters a week and wish one assistant could just summarise them all • Follow a specific industry (AI, climate, biotech, geopolitics, markets) and want signal, not headlines • Want a private space to think out loud about what's happening in the world • Are tired of social-media news and want a calmer, smarter alternative PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No name, email, or phone number required • Anonymous sign-in — your install gets a private random ID • Encryption in transit (TLS) and at rest (AES-256) on Google Cloud • Your personal identifiers are never sent to AI providers • Request deletion of your data at any time by emailing support POWERED BY GOOGLE GEMINI Explorer uses Google's latest Gemini models via Vertex AI to understand your questions, summarise long articles, and converse naturally — the same family of models trusted by enterprises, brought to you in a clean personal app. QUIETLY OPINIONATED We don't think you need 14 tabs, push notifications every hour, or a feed that feeds on your outrage. Explorer is intentionally calm. One conversation. One brief. Whatever depth you want, on demand. SUPPORT & FEEDBACK We read every email. Found a bug, have an idea, want a feature?
