[Tech30] How three techies built Newsbytes, India's first AI-powered news platform

With the rise of digitisation and a decline in readers' attention spans, news consumption has definitely changed. People are constantly on the lookout for mobile-friendly and easy-to-read content, especially on social media and messaging applications. However, with the plethora of information out there, users find it difficult to discern the genuine from the fake and get the context of the news. NewsBytes, a Gurugram-based startup, is striving to address this by providing everyday news in a concise and contextual manner by drawing on the strengths of artificial intelligence (AI). The startup has built a digital platform, as a web portal and a mobile application, which integrates the relevant background information for all the news content.
