Screw the algorithm. Build your own!

I’ve been trying to find a new way to stay informed without relying on social media. My attention has been pulled by TikTok and X for way too long, and I wanted to try something different.

I started thinking what if we could actually own our algorithms? What if we could choose when to let them entertain us, and when to turn on focus mode and only get what we care about?

To experiment with this, I built a small app. The idea is simple:

You describe what you want to follow.
AI figures it out and pulls fresh content for you every hour.
It only fetches what you tell it to. Nothing extra.

Currently this demo app is more useful if you want to be focused on something (for example, you can follow recent stablecoin regulation updates). I’ve been using it for a couple of weeks and it’s helped me stop bouncing between X and LinkedIn.

We're launching in App Store in 30 days, here's the link to join our waitlist: www.a01ai.com.

Here's our discord.

I know It’s still far from the full vision, but it’s a step in that direction.

Would love to hear what you think!
