Show HN: A news app where you define your algorithm
A01 is a news reader where you define your own algorithm in plain English.
For example, you can prompt it with: • "I want to follow recent AI startups and their first funding rounds.” • "I want updates on regulation changes and enforcement actions around stablecoins.”
Every few hours, the backend fetches new articles, embeds them, and scores each one against your prompt. Only the most relevant pieces show up. No engagement metrics, trending bait, or “you might also like” filler.
I built this because I every time I opened up Twitter or LinkedIn to stay informed on something, but always ended up deep in unrelated content. I wanted an intentional feed: just show me what I asked for, nothing else.

If it's full, you can request access at www.a01ai.com. Enter your email and the invite is sent automatically. No account or payment needed.
Coming soon: support for modifying your prompt at any time, negative filters (e.g. “don’t show me X”), and other controls to give you full ownership over your feed logic.
Would love your thoughts and feedback.
