fiveminutebrief
Turn any topic into a daily 5-minute podcast.
Every day, I found myself trying to keep up with AI, technology, business, investing, and dozens of other topics that interested me. Instead of staying informed, I ended up overwhelmed by newsletters, articles, social media, and long podcasts.
I realized I wasn't alone. There is more information available than ever before, but less time to consume it.
So I built fiveminutebrief.
fiveminutebrief turns any topic into a personalized daily news brief, delivered as a 5-minute podcast and optional newsletter. Whether you want to follow AI, startups, world news, your favorite sports team, or a niche industry, the goal is the same: help you stay informed in minutes instead of hours.
You can follow public topics for free or create your own custom topics to receive personalized daily updates.
I'm excited to improve the product and would love to hear what topics you'd like to follow/create or what features would make it more useful.

The part that resonated with me was the shift from an information problem to a time problem.
Most of us don't struggle because there isn't enough to read—we struggle because keeping up across multiple interests quietly becomes a part-time job. Making staying informed feel sustainable again is a much more interesting goal than just delivering more content.
Aryan, you hit the nail on the head! This is exactly why I created this.
I listen to my daily briefs during my morning routine every day, and I feel informed across all of my interests while barely trying at all.
