Artifact is an AI-driven news aggregation app from the creators of Instagram

After a few years of staying mostly under the radar, Instagram co-founders Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger are back with a new project. It's an app called Artifact, a name Systrom told Platformer's Casey Newton is designed to evoke the project's three tenants: "articles, facts and artificial intelligence." In short, it's a news aggregation app driven by a TikTok-like recommendation algorithm. When you first launch Artifact, you'll see a central feed populated by stories from publications like The New York Times. As you read more articles, the app will begin personalizing your feed.
