Beta starts now for the next month. A joint project between Unaligned (my company) and Levangie Labs (@blevlabs company). It reads 50,000 of you, and follows 8,300 AI companies here on X. And pulls out the best and most interesting. All built with the X API. Check it out: alignednews.com/ai And please sign up for its daily newsletter. Yeah, $25 a month is a lot for many of you, but that will defray the costs and let me expand it to do a lot more than just AI. Also, the same AI agent that built the site, and did EVERYTHING you see can build custom reports for you on literally any tech community here on X. It supports OpenClaw, RSS, and Notebook LM too. And I'll add more from your requests. More:
