News should inform you, not hook you. Mini Briefs gives you the day's news in 2-minute audio summaries. Listen on your commute, at the gym, while you make coffee. When they end, they end. HOW IT WORKS Every morning, an AI reads dozens of sources and turns them into clear, direct audio. Pick a category, hit play, and you're caught up in the time it takes to drink a coffee. 8 CATEGORIES - AI — what's new in artificial intelligence, without the hype - Tech — what's happening in tech, explained well - Business — the business world without the jargon - Mexico — news from south of the border - Science — discoveries that matter - Gaming — the gaming industry - Sports — scores and moves that matter BILINGUAL Switch between English and Spanish with one tap. Same content, two languages — useful if you're learning, or if you live between two worlds. DESIGNED TO END When the brief is over, it's over. No infinite feed waiting for you, no "breaking news" pings every hour. You get informed, you move on with your day. Mini Briefs is for people who want to be informed without losing half an hour to it. For those who prefer a quiet coffee over an anxious scroll.
