About A2Z News

A2Z News exists for one reason: reading the news shouldn't take longer than the event itself. We track a curated list of RSS feeds from outlets like BBC, CNN, Reuters affiliates, The Verge, TechCrunch, Variety and Times of India, and turn every incoming story into a 60-word briefing you can read in the time it takes to unlock your phone.

What we actually do to a story

We don't just copy-paste headlines. Every article that comes through our pipeline goes through a processing layer before it ever reaches you:

• Cross-source clustering. When multiple outlets cover the same event, we detect the overlap using text-similarity matching and merge them into a single story, crediting every source that reported it — instead of showing you the same headline five times.
• AI analysis, not a rewrite. Each story is run through Google's Gemini model to produce a short summary, a plain-language "why it matters" explanation, key takeaways, and a topic taxonomy — analysis layers that don't exist in the original article, generated specifically to help you decide whether a story is worth your time.
• A trust score. Every story is scored on source reliability, corroboration across outlets, and language patterns associated with speculation or sensationalism, so you can gauge how solid a claim is before you share it.
• A link to the original, always. We are a briefing layer, not a replacement for journalism. Every story on A2Z News links back to the publisher that reported it, and we encourage you to read the full piece there for complete context, quotes, and reporting detail.

Where AI can get it wrong

Our summaries, trust scores, and "why it matters" sections are generated automatically by an AI model. AI-generated analysis can occasionally misinterpret nuance, miss context, or state something with more confidence than it deserves. We treat it as a fast first read, not a verdict — if a trust score or summary looks off, the original reporting linked on every article page is the authoritative source.

Who's behind this

A2Z News is an independently run project, built and maintained by a single developer. There's no newsroom and no reporters on staff — the reporting you read is done by the outlets we link to. Our job is the layer on top: aggregation, deduplication, and AI-assisted analysis.
