refeed

Save time reading news.

AI cuts the noise — delivering only what's relevant to you.

Nearly a million articles are published every day — over half now AI-generated. Refeed monitors your sources, filters with AI that understands context (not keywords), deduplicates across outlets, and delivers structured digests on your schedule. Live with paying customers. No competitor combines configurable AI filtering with automated digest delivery at this price point.

The Problem

The information flood is getting worse — and it's about to get much worse.

857,434 news articles published daily
Pangram Labs / NewsCatcher, 2024
58% of the workday spent on "work about work," not real work
Asana Anatomy of Work, 2023
50.3% of new web articles are AI-generated
Graphite / Axios, 2025
275 daily interruptions per employee from emails, meetings, and pings
Microsoft Work Trend Index, 2025

The internet produces nearly a million news articles every day. Workers are interrupted 275 times daily. 58% of the workday is lost to "work about work." And it's accelerating.

The AI Content Explosion

AI-generated content is flooding the web at unprecedented scale. Of the 857,434 daily news articles, approximately 60,000 are AI-generated — 7% of all daily news output (Pangram Labs / NewsCatcher, 2024). The number of undisclosed AI-generated news sites has exploded from 49 in May 2023 to 2,089 in January 2025 (NewsGuard, 2025). Bot traffic now accounts for 51% of all web traffic (Imperva / Thales, 2025).

News Avoidance and Alert Fatigue

People are tuning out. 40% of global audiences now actively avoid news, up from 29% in 2017 (Reuters Institute DNR, 2025). 43% have disabled news alerts entirely (Reuters Institute DNR, 2025). The signal-to-noise ratio has collapsed.

The Time Cost

Knowledge workers spend 28% of their workweek on email — roughly 11.2 hours per week (McKinsey, 2012). 67% feel overwhelmed by email volume (Gated, 2022). 58% of the workday is spent on "work about work" — searching, coordinating, managing information instead of doing the actual work (Asana, 2023). Employees are interrupted 275 times per day — once every 2 minutes during core work hours (Microsoft Work Trend Index, 2025).

The problem isn't lack of information. It's too much of it — and no intelligent filter.

The Solution

Aggregate. Filter. Deduplicate. Summarize.

Two ways to receive what matters.

Refeed monitors your sources, filters the noise, and delivers — either as individual articles ready to read, or bundled into structured briefings on your schedule.

  1. 01
    Aggregate Monitor RSS feeds, newsletters, and web sources in real time
  2. 02
    Filter AI evaluates every article against your custom criteria
  3. 03
    Deduplicate Same story across 20 outlets — you read it once
  4. 04
    Summarize Relevant articles condensed into key points and structured summaries
Direct Articles Individual articles delivered to RSS or dashboard — filtered, summarized, ready to read
Digest Morning briefs, daily digests, and periodic reports — structured briefings on your schedule

01

Aggregate

Refeed monitors any RSS feed, newsletter, or web source you specify. Articles are fetched in real time, deduplicated across sources, and queued for processing. You define the sources. Refeed watches them 24/7.

02

Filter

Every article is evaluated by AI against your custom prompt. Not keyword matching — actual semantic understanding. You define what "relevant" means for each feed.

"M&A deals over $100M in enterprise software" captures acquisition announcements, not product launches
"Competitor product releases or pricing changes" ignores their blog posts about company culture
"Breakthroughs in protein folding or drug discovery" filters out incremental research updates
03

Deduplicate

The same story appears in 20 outlets. Refeed recognizes duplicates by content similarity, clusters them, and delivers one summary with all source links. You read the story once, not 20 times.

04

Summarize

Relevant articles are summarized into structured digests: key points, implications, and source links. Read in 2 minutes what would have taken 2 hours to find and process manually.

Two delivery modes

After processing, every article can reach you in two distinct ways — choose one or both per feed.

A

Direct Articles

Each article that passes your filters is delivered individually — summarized and ready to read. Available via RSS feed or dashboard. Ideal when you want real-time access to every relevant piece as it comes in.

B

Digest

Articles are collected and compiled into structured briefings — morning briefs, daily digests, or periodic reports. Delivered on your schedule, formatted for quick scanning. Not a stream of articles — a structured briefing designed for how you actually consume information.

Why Refeed

What makes Refeed different

Configurable AI prompts

Natural language intent, not keyword rules. You describe what matters — the AI understands context.

Cross-source deduplication

Same story in 20 outlets? One summary, all source links. Read it once.

Customizable briefs & digests

Morning briefs, daily digests, periodic reports — your schedule, your format, via RSS or dashboard.

Works with your RSS reader

Standard RSS 2.0 output. Read your filtered, summarized feeds in Reeder, NetNewsWire, or any reader you already use.

Cost-optimized AI

Caching and batching keep costs low. AI intelligence without enterprise API bills.

Built for power users

Designed for people who need signal, not noise. Investors. Researchers. Founders.

Use Cases

Built for anyone drowning in information

  • Investors — Track portfolio companies, competitors, and market trends
  • Researchers — Monitor academic publications and industry developments
  • Founders — Watch competitors, customers, and market shifts
  • Journalists — Follow breaking news across beats without missing stories
  • Analysts — Aggregate intelligence from dozens of sources into one feed

Market

Everyone aggregates. Nobody delivers a digest.

The market is full of RSS readers and news aggregators. They collect articles and offer basic AI features — but none deliver structured, personalized digests. Feedly has pivoted to enterprise at $1,600+/month. Bloomberg charges $32K/year. Refeed occupies the gap: AI-powered digest delivery at a fraction of the cost.

  • Feedly — 15M users, ~$7.5M ARR, 60+ employees. Pivoting to enterprise ($1,600+/mo). Leo AI filters and prioritizes — but no digest delivery
  • Inoreader — #2 RSS reader, bootstrapped, ~10 employees. Launched AI summaries in 2025 — manual-first, no automated digests
  • Bloomberg Terminal — $32K/year, 325K+ subscribers, ~$14.9B revenue. Adding AI summaries (2025) — overkill for non-finance users
  • Particle News — Launched Nov 2024 by ex-Twitter engineers. AI multi-perspective summaries. Publisher partnerships with TIME, NYT, Reuters

Feedly
  • Users: ~15 million (DMR, 2021; no recent disclosure)
  • Revenue: ~$7.5M ARR estimated (Growjo, 2025)
  • Funding: $500K seed (Crunchbase); mostly bootstrapped
  • Team: 60–67 employees (PitchBook, 2026)
  • Pricing: Pro $60/yr, Pro+ $99/yr, Market Intelligence $1,600/mo, Threat Intelligence $1,600–$3,200/mo
  • Customers: Lufthansa, Airbus, Danone, Verizon

RSS aggregator with Leo AI assistant — prioritization, deduplication, summarization, 1000+ pre-trained AI models, and multilingual support (15 languages). In 2024–2025, pivoted hard toward enterprise intelligence ($1,600+/month), leaving the consumer product largely stagnant. Leo is powerful but paywalled behind Pro+ ($99/yr). No automated digest delivery — users must open the app. No personalized briefings on a schedule.

Inoreader
  • Users: #2 RSS reader globally; ~5M monthly web visits (Webrate, 2026)
  • Funding: Bootstrapped, $0 raised (Tracxn)
  • Team: ~10 employees, Sofia, Bulgaria (Innologica)
  • Pricing: Free (150 feeds), Pro $7.50/mo (2,500 feeds, 30 rules, AI summaries)

Power-user RSS reader with 30 automation rules, content filters, and social media feed support. Launched "Inoreader Intelligence" in March 2025 — AI article summaries via GPT-4o-mini (1M tokens/mo). However, AI is manual-first: users must click to summarize each article. No automated digest generation, no cross-feed deduplication, no scheduled briefings. RSS-centric architecture limits non-RSS source integration.

Bloomberg Terminal
  • Subscribers: 325,000–350,000 (Wikipedia; no recent update)
  • Pricing: $31,980/year single terminal, 6.5% increase in 2025 (NeuGroup, 2025)
  • Revenue: ~$14.9B total, Terminal ~$12.5B — 33.4% market share (Forbes, 2025)
  • AI: BloombergGPT (50B parameters), AI news summaries (Jan 2025), document analysis (2025)

Enterprise market intelligence platform processing 300B+ bits of financial data daily and 5,000+ news stories. Aggressively adding AI — earnings call summaries (Jan 2024), AI news summaries (Jan 2025), document insights (April 2025). Bloomberg investing in AI summarization validates the market. But it's overkill: $32K/year, steep learning curve, complex interface designed for finance professionals. News intelligence is bundled with financial data you don't need.

Particle News
  • Launched: November 2024 (app), May 2025 (web)
  • Founders: Ex-Twitter engineers (Sara Beykpour + team)
  • Partners: TIME, NYT, CNN, The Atlantic, Reuters, Fortune

AI-powered news app with multi-perspective summaries. "Opposite Sides" shows differing viewpoints on the same story. Differentiates by giving publishers traffic and credit rather than scraping content. Gaining traction with major media partnerships. Expanding globally (UK launch Oct 2025).

Other Players
  • Apple News: ~125M MAU, News+ ~19M subscribers at $12.99/mo. Record-breaking services revenue in 2025. Platform advantage but no personalized digests (Nieman Lab, 2026)
  • SmartNews: $1–2B valuation, $479M raised, ~30M MAU (declining). 40% layoffs in 2023. Struggling to retain users (TechCrunch, 2024)
  • Flipboard: Pivoting to Fediverse/ActivityPub. Launched "Surf" discovery app (Dec 2024). 250+ federated publishers. Niche play (Flipboard)
  • News Break: $1B valuation (2021), $176M raised, 50M+ downloads. Focused on local news. No funding since 2021 (GlobeNewswire, 2021)
