Daily news, out loud

The news, read to you. And it answers back.

Hugo is a voice-first daily briefing you can interrupt. It reads you what happened, then takes your questions in the same conversation — the way you’d ask a person who’d already read everything.

Currently in private beta on TestFlight.

How it works

The briefing is written ahead of time and stored, so the only thing happening while you listen is the conversation itself.

01

It's ready before you are

Every morning, well before the commute, Hugo pulls live news, ranks what actually matters, and writes the day's script. Nothing is improvised while you wait.

02

Press play, and it talks

Hugo starts reading the moment the session opens — no menus, no loading spinner, no tapping through headlines to find the story.

03

Interrupt whenever

Cut in mid-sentence and ask. Hugo answers from the same conversation, and searches the web live when you want something fresher or deeper.

Four briefings, every day

Each one is written separately, so tapping a beat plays that beat — not one shared script wearing a different label.

General

A short pass across everything — written from the day's other briefings, not a separate search.

U.S.

What moved in national politics, policy, and public life.

Business

Markets, deals, and the companies behind them.

Technology

Product launches, research, and the industry's direction.

Hugo’s briefings are AI-generated from live news sources and may be inaccurate. Verify important details before relying on them.
