What we did

  • A pipeline that reads long reports and keeps the key facts, publishing each story as a three-point brief that always links back to the original.
  • One tap switches the entire app between English, Hindi, Kannada, Tamil and Telugu.
  • Categories for politics, international, economy, sports, technology, entertainment, education and health, plus a trending view driven by what readers are discussing.
  • Stories can be saved and read offline. No advertising, no sign-up wall.
