AI Tools to Navigate News Effectively

AI tools can effectively analyze data streams, making insights more accessible. No wonder they’re transforming how we approach information management.

Today, we’ll showcase a few tools for staying up-to-date: Feedly, Inoreader, Perplexity, Flipboard, and Curio.

Let’s have a closer look at Feedly, whose AI capabilities make news management more efficient, helping users stay informed and productive.

💡 Here are some tips and tricks:

• Use Feedly AI to effortlessly track topics, companies, and trends across the web (in Pro+ plan for $12.18/month).

• Leverage Power Search for advanced content discovery.

• Aggregate news from sources like websites, Reddit, newsletters, and more.

• Apply Feedly AI for summarization and deduplication of news (with Pro+).

• Integrate Feedly with apps like Slack, Zapier, MS OneNote and others (with Pro or Enterprise plans).

These tools automate information gathering, but AI filtering noise in automated collections is only offered by Feedly Pro+. So currently, you must choose mass or intelligence, or pay.

Unless… you put in the time and build a work-around for both (possible for free), like we demonstrate in this video. 👇

📈 AI Trends

Recommendation Systems and Filter Bubbles

The content recommendation engine market, valued at $5.95 billion in 2023, is projected to reach $8.08 billion in 2024, driven by digital content and personalization trends.

The key trends include the rise of AI-powered engines, cross-platform integration for seamless experiences, and expanding of the systems beyond Entertainment Tech.

However, there is a socio-technological issue of the recommendation systems, that should be kept in mind:

🫧 A filter bubble - intellectual isolation caused by personalized searches and algorithms, using user data like location and search history.

The key reason is a trade-off between exploration and exploitation:

• Merely exploiting user data and preferences leads to repetitive content recommendation.

• The recommendation systems need efficient, balanced exploration of new topics to discover diverse interests.

Thus, an important trend is balancing exploration vs exploitation in recommender systems to avoid filter bubbles and provide diverse content.

Sot let’s escape the bubble by taking matters into our own hands. Read on to learn how to perform effective AI-driven web search with ChatGPT. 👇
