Description
Hey HN, I'm Ethan. I was spending 2 hours every morning across HN, Twitter, and newsletters trying to keep up with AI for my startup. So over the past few months, my co-founder Thor and I built FiveW to distill the latest AI developments relevant to us, in a 5 minute briefing.FiveW does three things:1. Personalized morning briefing -- talk with an agent on onboarding, and get a daily briefing tailored to your interests that you can deep dive on.2. Curated AI news feed -- surfaces the most important AI stories of the day from 100+ sources, in one place3. Live market signals -- BTC, gold, oil prices and Polymarket prediction odds alongside the newsWould love to hear what you think. What would you come back for every morning?
