Introducing Particle

Former Twitter engineers are launching Particle, an AI-powered personalized news reader aimed at fairly compensating publishers.

Led by ex-Twitter senior director Sara Beykpour, Particle summarizes news using AI to provide quick bullet points with in-depth options.

The startup draws news from various mainstream and partisan sources across the political spectrum.

While headlines and key terms link back to original articles, summaries themselves do not, making accuracy difficult to verify. Photographs feature source watermarks.

Addressing publisher compensation

With AI increasingly used to summarize news, Particle claims its model will properly compensate publishers and authors.

Its founders’ experience at Twitter offers unique insight into real-time news ecosystems and product development.

The startup has raised funding from Kindred Ventures, Adverb Ventures, and angels like Medium’s Ev Williams.

Particle arrives amid growing concerns over AI’s impact on the news industry, with summaries potentially decreasing clicks and ad revenue.

Challenges and opportunities

Similar startups include the now-shuttered Artifact by Instagram’s founders and AI app Bulletin.

If Particle can create an engaging personalized news feed while ensuring publishers benefit from its AI summarization, it could stand out in this crowded space.

For now, the company remains in private beta as it gears up for a public launch. Its founding team’s pedigree and backing suggest it could become a leading AI-powered news platform.
