About Gobbles
Gobbles is a daily briefing platform where readers create their own channels on the topics they actually care about. Tech news, saltwater reef tanks, longevity research, local sailing — anything you'd want a smart, curated read on.
Every morning, each channel publishes one carefully-written briefing: 3-5 stories, with a distinct voice, linked sources, and a sharp take at the end of each story. Reuters discipline; less dry. No clickbait. No ten-tabs-of-ads landing pages.
Two ways to use Gobbles
How it works
- You tell us what you want to read about.
- We spin up a channel for that topic, pulling from real sources — RSS feeds, Reddit threads, Substack essays, mainstream news — and filter it ruthlessly for quality and relevance.
- Every morning we publish one briefing per channel. You read it on gobbles.news or as an email.
- You can follow other people's public channels too. Your inbox stays clean: one daily digest, per your schedule.
What makes it different
- Personal. You own the scope of your channels. No editor decides what belongs in your briefing.
- Curated — actually. Every candidate story passes through a multi-stage relevance filter, a 7-day dedup check, and an editor pass that kills filler sentences.
- Anti-churn. We'd rather skip a day than publish a re-tread of what you just read yesterday.
- No ads. No algorithmic feed. No infinite scroll. Just one good read and a clear "you're done" at the end.
How Gobbles works — and its limits
Every Gobbles briefing is generated by AI from real sources (news feeds, Reddit, curated publications). The AI writes, edits, and publishes without human editorial review in between. That means:
- Content may be inaccurate. AI models occasionally fabricate details, misattribute quotes, or misinterpret source material — including errors about real people, events, and data.
- Not professional advice. Briefings are information and entertainment only — not a substitute for financial, medical, legal, or expert guidance. Don't make important decisions based on a Gobbles briefing without verifying independently.
- Sources are always linked. The linked source is the original and more reliable record. If something in a briefing seems off, check there.
- Mistakes happen — tell us. If you spot a factual error, send feedback. We read every message.
Using Gobbles implies acceptance of this disclaimer. Use at your own discretion.
Our principles
- Don't repeat yourself. Missing a story is better than running the same one twice. We bias aggressively toward fresh takes.
- Every sentence earns its place. Our editor — a real AI pass, not a regex — kills filler. Headlines are specific and surprising, or they don't make it.
- Respect your inbox. One email, one time, on your schedule. One-click unsubscribe. No "don't miss out" spam.
- Your data is yours. Delete your account, everything's gone (after a 7-day cooldown so you can change your mind).
Got an idea? A bug?
Gobbles gets better because real readers tell us what to build. Seriously — we read every message.
