Gem is the best app for staying updated with the latest tech and finance news. Powered by AI, Gem gives you concise and personalized news summaries that cater to your interests.
Iâve been using Gem for a couple weeks now, and itâs been a fun way to curb my auto-pilot instincts of opening Reddit or social media whenever I pick up my phone. The app is really simple: open it up and read headlines + 3 key takeaways of the latest tech news.
Itâs very very fast and fluid, so youâll quickly know whether or not this is for you. At first, I didnât know if Iâd consistently use Gem over my other news apps, but itâs so tempting to open up given how simple/rewarding it is to browse. It feeds my fidgeting fingers because everything is just a swipe or tap away, and I like that it takes me <10 seconds to feel baseline familiar with any story that pops up.
I came across Gem because Ian and Prabhdeep have been building out in the open, pulling feedback from wherever they can get it and making improvements super quickly. This is definitely an app Iâm going to keep an eye on (it hasnât left my home screen yet!), especially as someone that consumes way too much tech news and often times in the most distracting way possible. Right now, Gem has a lot of potential and itâs already shaping up to be my favorite way to mindlessly binge content thatâs actually useful to know.
Congrats to @ianmendiola and @prabhdeep_gill for launching, and thanks for sharing Gem with me!
Thanks @danielha for hunting us!
Hey all đ - One of the founders here. Feel free to ping me with any questions or feedback. It's still early days, we have a lot of exciting things on the roadmap coming soon. Look forward to hearing what you all think.
@yoshichenu - Nothing fancy at the moment. Just some good old OpenAI gpt-3.5-turbo-16k. The hardest part was stitching a bunch of systems together and creating something reliable and elegant.
Been on the Gem TestFlight for a few weeks now. Find myself opening the app multiple times a day to quickly swipe through a dozen stories or so. Itâs just something about the simplicity and fluidity of this app that makes me keep coming back day after day.
Having been an avid user of reader apps over a decade, owing to the sheer number of writing pieces available now, Iâve struggled to get to âinbox zeroâ in my reading lists / queues etc. Over time, that has made me avoid or even dread opening them altogether. My queues just keep accumulating, like email... Enter Gem. I never dread opening Gem, because I know I could be in and out in 30s, a couple of mins or even 10 mins, with new knowledge and a feeling of satisfaction. It's kind of like skimming headlines but a lot more useful.
We live in a new age where there's just too much news out there â Gem embraces that and proposes an intelligent, fun way to navigate this era.
The AI recommendation engine has been getting progressively better from the day I started using Gem. And I've got a growing wishlist of features already..
TLDR: Gem is just plain dumb fun! You gotta try it to know.
@sidjha appreciate all the improvements youâve helped us make to the product!
We are going to build your feature request to âSend article to Gem for summaryâ soon to help you get through all your content :)
@prabhdeep_gill@sentry_co Love this idea! Although I like the curation aspect too. Maybe custom RSS + subscribing to the apps built in curated feeds? Excited to see how this evolves.
@harpaul thanks!
Great question - we show you trending stories and stories with various topics in tech and finance when you first start using the app. Then similar to TikTok, we start learning what kind of content you like/dislike via explicit like, share, time spent, etc) to help feed into the next set of stories you see on the app.
Gem is on the move to beat Artifact as the next-best news app. It naturally focuses on summarization and ease of comprehension which is the new way forward in news consumption. There are too many fluff pieces and hyperbolic articles these days to know what's valuable/useful to read. Gem solves this with a super slick UX, quick access summaries and amazing recommendations.
Congrats to the Gem team, keep up the good work.
The app is so cool and slick. Super easy to get started on reading the news with minimal setup. The summary is helpful and it gets me through more content in less time. I felt so well informed while using the app. Great work, team! Canât wait to see how this app evolves â¨
Congrats on the launch! Love how simple and straightforward this is. Makes it super easy to cut out the aimless scrolling while getting the news I need!
@shantanu_apex Weâve found LLMs have been really powerful at summarizing / understanding key takeaways from large pieces of text. Itâs taken a bunch of time iterating on the prompts we feed it, but we feel like it does a great job giving the TLDR of any article now.
Iâve been using Gem for the past few weeks and itâs become super addicting to swipe through stories daily and learn. Canât wait until more categories are supported in the future!
Been loving the app. Itâs so much nicer than doom scrolling on Instagram đ. Iâd love to see other categories in here like sports and health content.
