NewsBang makes it much convenient for us to stay informed about what’s happening in the world. I have one concern: with so much fake news circulating these days, how do you ensure the authenticity and reliability of your news sources?

@focusaur Thank you for your thoughtful question and support! 😊 At NewsBang, we take the authenticity and reliability of news very seriously. We use curated, trustworthy information sources as the foundation of our platform. Additionally, our AI models are trained to filter out unreliable content by cross-referencing multiple credible sources and flagging potential inaccuracies. We're continuously improving our systems to ensure our users can stay informed with confidence. If you have any further concerns or suggestions, feel free to share—we value your feedback! 🙌
James Cooper
@haydenho Sounds great! You’ve put in excellent effort to ensure the credibility of the news sources. Best wishes for your launch:)
Sam @CRANQ
Seems like a very exciting application indeed, I couldn't agree more...We can't go 1 minute without being bombarded by new articles & breaking news etc. Plus the length of each of the stories is so that we're unable to absorb all of the info - I love the idea behind it, is there any chance of the AI hallucinating & forming biased opinions when we ask it about an article? Good luck w/ the launch Hayden & team!

@cranqnow Thank you so much for the appreciation of this idea! Your detailed feedback from user perspective means a lot to us. We are committed to continuously providing unbiased information and viewpoints, and this will be a core strategic function of our product. While the current version may not be perfect, we are striving to improve through the following approaches: 1. Continuous Model Enhancement: We are refining our models to better recognize and generate neutral information. The self-trained models we currently use, "Homer-72B" and "Homer-7B," have previously ranked first in their respective scales on the OpenLLM LeaderBoard v2. We will continue optimizing these models for better performance. 2. Expanding and Cross-Referencing Sources: Building on reliable sources, we aim to expand our source base and perform cross-referencing to ensure the quality and objectivity of the data we present. 3. Future Features: We may explore providing users with insights into the perspectives and context behind certain viewpoints, helping them form a more complete understanding and make better personal judgments. (Of course, we will actively listen to user feedback and conduct further research to refine this process!) Hope you may enjoy our product! Looking forward to any further suggestions.

@civorio You Got It!
NewsBang seems like a promising tool for staying updated with the latest news, but I’m curious how it handles personalization — does it allow for tailoring news feeds based on specific interests? Also, what are the plans for future integrations or features that could make it even more indispensable for daily users?

@sujingshen Hi Sujing, thanks for your interest and good questions! Couldn't wait to share more of our feature plan with you here: Our AI model's main development direction focuses on long-term memory. This will enable the system to better understand and retain interactions over time, allowing for more personalized and meaningful interactions. ALSO, we are continuously striving to work on the following approaches: 1. Expanding Content Diversity: While ensuring the reliability of our information sources, we aim to continuously broaden the types of content we provide, incorporating more diverse and valuable insights. 2. Enhanced News Filtering Options: Users can now filter news by sentiment or category of the news. We are committed to optimizing these features for an even better experience. 3. Improving Recommendation Algorithms: Our platform already supports personalized recommendations to some extent. As you engage more with the platform and interact with the AI, our recommendations will become increasingly tailored to your preferences. 4. Better Search Tools: We are planning to launch and enhance our search module to provide a more seamless and efficient user experience.

Congrats on the launch, team! 🎉 NewsBang looks like a refreshing way to consume news—it’s awesome to see AI being used not just to summarize but to provide deeper insights and perspectives. The emotional angle like ‘Joyful News’ is a unique touch, and the podcasts feature is perfect for staying informed on the go. Can’t wait to try it out and explore the why behind the what. Great work!

@williamrobertscott Thank you for liking our "Feel the News" feature and idea! We often find ourselves caught in a filter bubble when browsing the news, where it feels like all the headlines are about negative events or very serious topics. That’s why we thought, why not bring this feature into our product? Perhaps, like us, users sometimes want to see lighter, more enjoyable, or objectively neutral content. We look forward to hearing more of your feedback! Hope you enjoy the experience of using our product.

Love the "bitesize takeaways" concept! As someone who struggles to keep up with news, this approach of curated, concise summaries from trusted sources is a game-changer. Excited to try this out and finally stay informed without feeling overwhelmed.

This is really well done! One thing to note, when I followed the QR code, it took me to a mobile page with a button for the Google Play Store (which is correct, I'm on Android), but when I clicked the Play Store button it took me to the Apple App Store page. Other than that small hiccup, this is an incredible product!

Congrats on the launch! 🚀 I think it is a great idea, and you also have my kudos on the app design, I think it looks pretty lean and smooth. On the other hand, I'd be concerned about the bias of the information (it is one of the biggest problems we have nowadays >.<). I love that you show the sources of the news in the UI, I think it is a great idea, but at the same time I also see social media platforms as news sources, where there are channels and users very biased when they publish content. Do you have some specific "unbiased" channels to retrieve the news information or do you use anyone? In any case, I'll give it a try :) Keep up the good work!

@pablo_velez Thank you for the support! We are trying to use our self trained ai models to collect different opinions and analyzes the viewpoints.

The podcast feature is intriguing. As someone who listens to news podcasts during commutes, I’m curious like can users customize the topics or duration of these podcasts? For example, a 5-minute 'world news roundup' vs. a 15-minute deep dive would be amazing for people with different time constraints.

@yatheen_brahma Thanks brahma for the support! You've raised an interesting idea. We will try to make it into our feature list. Let's look forward to seeing how it can be integrated into our application scenarios. Hope you can enjoy the app during the time.
