News Kurator

For everyone who wants to get ahead despite the flood of information

Ten minutes of reading.
Nothing important missed.

The News Kurator collects, clusters, rates and delivers the most relevant items to you every day, fully automatically and AI-assisted. From your sources, against your topics. What three sources say about the same thing becomes one story; what does not concern you never arrives at all.

Runs in Switzerland, with a local language model. Your data does not leave our servers.

0 passwords handed over to us. You forward your newsletters to an address of your own; your mailbox stays shut.
3× ratings on the same topic, and the curator remembers it for good. That is all the setup it takes.
14 days free to try, no credit card. The demo ends by itself.
Everything runs on our own machines in Switzerland. Your texts go to no outside service.

This is what your morning looks like

One page, sorted by importance. Red first, then yellow, then green, and under every story the buttons the curator learns from.

Rate an item and see what the curator makes of it

This is what a story looks like in your briefing. The buttons underneath are the same as in the application.

Federal Council adopts new data retention rules for small and medium-sized companies

The rules take effect in 2027 and apply to every business that keeps customer data digitally. Transition periods are provided for; the duty to report is not.

Your rating does not change this story, it changes the next runs. After the third identical rating the topic moves into your topic tree by itself.

Digital resilience

You stay able to act if you see what matters in time.

The regulation that hits your industry appears in a feed on the day it is published, not in your inbox. A competitor announces their move in a newsletter that is sitting in your «later» pile. Digital resilience means you decide what reaches you, in what order, and on whose machines.

Nichts Entscheidendes verpassen every morning

Every day the curator reads everything your sources produce and puts what has consequences on top. Today's change is in tomorrow's briefing, not in a review three months from now.

What you miss is no longer left to chance

Deine Ordnung, nicht die des Algorithmus your rules

Social networks and portals sort by their own interests: what keeps you there goes on top, not what you need. In your briefing, your topics and your weightings set the order.

The order is yours

How the News Kurator works

Four steps, at the same time every day. Set it up once and the rest runs by itself.

Collect. RSS-Feeds, YouTube-Kanäle, Podcasts und Newsletter. Newsletter kommen über eine eigene Adresse, an die du weiterleitest, oder direkt aus deinem Gmail-Postfach. Zugangsdaten braucht der Kurator dafür keine.
Pre-filter. Ein schneller Abgleich mit deinen Themen entscheidet, welche Artikel überhaupt genauer geprüft werden. Gezählt wird je Thema, nicht je Stichwort: Ein Beitrag über OpenAI bekommt einmal Punkte, auch wenn darin «OpenAI», «ChatGPT» und «Codex» stehen.
Rate. Ein Sprachmodell liest, was durchkam, fasst es zusammen und vergibt anhand deiner Rolle, deiner Branche und deiner Themen eine Punktzahl. Meldungen ohne Folgen werden gedeckelt, auch wenn sie laut sind.
Deliver. Zur vereinbarten Zeit steht dein Briefing bereit, nach Wichtigkeit sortiert: Very important, Relevant, Nice-to-know. Auf dem Telefon wischst du Gelesenes zur Seite.

And then the News Kurator learns.

Every item has rating buttons: very important, relevant, not relevant, never again. Your profile grows out of these ratings. Whatever you judge the same way three times, the curator adds to your topics by itself, and the order in your briefing follows. After two weeks it reads differently than on day one.

What the News Kurator can do

Six things that make the difference. Hover over one and it explains what is meant.

Your sources, not ours

You search for feeds and YouTube channels in the application; newsletters you forward. If no feed can be found for a name, it says so instead of keeping quiet about it.

Topics in your own order

A tree instead of a list: «OpenAI» with «ChatGPT» and «Sam Altman» underneath. Levels: high, medium, ignored – plus a block list for whatever should never appear.

Impact, actually measured

After every run it counts how often each term actually matches. Terms with no effect are suggested for tidying up – but only once there is enough material to say so.

A schedule per person

Six in the morning, or Mondays and Thursdays. Curate less often and you automatically get a longer look back; nothing is lost.

Archive, reminders, reading list

Nothing disappears. Every day stays available, and articles can be put on a date or kept with a note of your own.

For teams and for customers

Several clients on one installation, strictly separated. A curator can share selected categories with customer accounts; those see only what has been shared.

What you can connect

Four kinds. You search for them in the application and add them; there is no fixed list to pick from.

News sites and blogs

Newspapers, trade portals, company blogs, public authorities. You enter the address of the site, nothing more; the curator works out for itself how to reach its articles. If a site does not work, it tells you, instead of quietly setting up a source that never delivers.

YouTube channels

You search for channels by name. The curator reads the video's subtitle track – what is actually said. You get a summary instead of having to watch for an hour.

Newsletters

You get a delivery address of your own. Forward your newsletters there, or subscribe to new ones with it directly; the curator breaks every issue down into its individual items. Without access to your mailbox and without you giving us a password. If you would rather connect your Gmail directly, you can do that too.

Podcasts

The address of the show is enough. What gets read is whatever the show supplies in writing: the episode description and, where it exists, the full transcript. It does not transcribe the audio itself; what exists nowhere as text cannot be rated.

Do not know a suitable site? Then simply say what it should be about: «photovoltaic subsidies», for instance. From then on the curator keeps looking for that topic in the news, across all publishers. It only sets this up if something is actually being published on it right now.

What does not work: articles that need a subscription cannot be read in full; the curator recognises them, tells you so, and takes what is freely available. LinkedIn, X and Instagram cannot be connected: they do not hand out their posts. And where there is only audio or images and no text anywhere, there is nothing for it to read.

Who this pays off for

Management of a small or medium-sized company

You need to know what is happening in your industry and at your competitors, but you have no staff unit reading it for you. By seven the overview is there, read in ten minutes.

Law, fiduciary services, compliance

A regulation changes and somebody notices three months later. By then it is expensive. Set the sources that count for you: cantonal tax practice, federal tax administration notices, court decisions. They are in your morning briefing as soon as they appear.

Consultancies and agencies

Your clients pay you to know it first. We set up a separate client account for each of yours: its own sources, its own profile, its own schedule, strictly separated.

Specialists with a narrow field

Your subject is narrow, the sources are scattered, and a search engine returns the same thing every day. A well-kept topic tree brings you exactly your field – including what is only said in a podcast or a talk.

Sales, education, associations, healthcare professions – or privately for your own field: anyone who regularly needs to know what is going on in their area is in the right place.

Where your data lives

The curator runs in Switzerland, on our own hardware, with a local language model. Your articles, your newsletters and your search terms do not leave our servers: there is no cloud provider reading along, and no training data set for them to end up in. If you would rather use a cloud model after all, that can be set per client account; the choice is yours, not a default.

  • Newsletters by forwarding: no access to your mailbox, no credentials.
  • Confirmation links from sign-up emails are never clicked automatically; they are shown to you.
  • Client accounts are separated: sources, topics, ratings and everything learned belong to one account each.
  • Output in the language and spelling you choose; wording and tone are up to you.

Frequently asked questions

What we are asked most, and what we would rather clear up in advance.

How is the News Kurator different from an RSS reader or Google Alerts?

A reader lays out everything that comes in; the sorting is left to you. The News Kurator first bundles what several sources report about the same thing, reads the text with a language model and gives it a score from 0 to 100 based on your profile. From 70 an item counts as very important, from 40 as relevant, below that as nice-to-know. Items without consequences are capped, however loud they are.

How does the curator learn what interests me?

Under every item there are rating buttons: very important, relevant, neutral, not relevant, never again. Your learning profile grows out of these ratings and feeds into the scoring of the next runs. Rate a topic the same way three times and the curator adds it to your topic tree by itself – as a block if the ratings were negative. You can see everything it enters there, and you can throw it out again at any time.

Do I have to gather sources and topics myself?

Not to begin with. The curator derives your first topics from your description and looks for matching sources; the first run starts immediately. Sharpening it afterwards is worthwhile: an assistant walks you through nine steps in about ten minutes, and after every run the curator shows you which terms actually match and which achieve nothing.

Was geschieht nach den fourteen Tagen?

The account ends by itself. No payment method is stored, there is no subscription that keeps running, and there is nothing to cancel. Your briefing stays readable afterwards, only nothing new is added; your setup is kept for a month in case you decide later after all.

Is there a mobile app?

The News Kurator runs in the browser and is built for the phone: you swipe away what you have read, and the buttons are thumb-sized. With «Add to Home Screen» you place it like an app, with its own icon and no browser frame; no app store entry is needed for that. And if you like, you get the briefing by email as well.

Can I work with my team or with clients?

Yes. In a team everyone has their own account with their own read state. For customers there are reader accounts: you share individual categories, and they see exactly that, nothing more. If you want to watch separately for several clients, you get one client account per customer; we set that up.
