Zetik
Tell it what you care about — a company, a person, a niche topic — and Zetik reads news, podcasts, blogs, GitHub and research papers 24/7, then briefs you on what actually matters instead of you doom-scrolling for it.

Description
Keeping up with a specific topic usually means either subscribing to a dozen newsletters and RSS feeds you'll never fully read, or checking Twitter/news apps repeatedly and mostly seeing noise. Zetik (formerly NewsBang) positions itself as a personal intelligence agent: you start a tracker in one sentence — a company, a person, a niche market, a rumor — and it reads across newsrooms, podcasts, blogs, GitHub, research papers and newsletters, folding duplicate coverage into one clean briefing with sources attached.
It explicitly filters differently depending on what you're tracking — gossip and speculation get filtered for some topics, kept for others where that's the point — and gives you full visibility into what it's learned about your preferences, with the ability to view, edit or delete any of it, avoiding the black-box feel of most recommendation algorithms. Briefings can arrive as a feed, push notification, newsletter, RSS, or audio format with podcast-style highlights. It's available on iOS, Android and web; specific subscription pricing isn't disclosed on the public site.
💬 Our review
The short version: Zetik's transparent-memory design — showing you exactly what it's learned and letting you edit or delete it — is a real point of difference from opaque recommendation algorithms, and the multi-source consolidation (news, podcasts, GitHub, papers) is broader than most single-format news apps.
The honest alternative is manually curating RSS feeds and newsletter subscriptions with a reader like Feedly, which gives you more direct control over sources but none of the automatic deduplication or cross-format synthesis Zetik does. Against a general AI assistant with browsing (ChatGPT, Perplexity), Zetik's edge is the persistent, evolving tracker model — it keeps watching a topic over time rather than answering a one-off query. Pricing isn't public, which makes it hard to judge value directly; worth trying for anyone tracking a specific narrow topic obsessively (a company, a market, a person) who's tired of manually checking multiple sources.
