I absolutely love this. It’s really well done. I like how they give you “timeline of event”
The LLMs do get it wrong once in a while though in their summaries. Mostly OK in my experience with Kagi Kite (this is an app version of kite.kagi.com)

#12When Facebook and Google take views and traffic away from news sources through summaries and amp and the rest, it’s bad. But when Kagi does it it’s now good?
I mean… at that point you gotta finger point at every single LLM that can fetch news.
Re: Kagi News (iOS)
#13It has a “Business” section, but it defaults to US and doesn’t have any customization (in Settings->Categories) to choose business/economy/financial news from other countries or regions. I wanted to provide feedback from the “Give Feedback” option in the Settings screen, but that opens up the Kagi feedback forum and requires creating an account. I’m not that invested in anything Kagi to go through this amount of trouble.
I would prefer in-app feedback forms to be simple forms that collect information right within the app without having an account, logging in, etc.

#14I'm assuming that is the app version of the kagi news page found here: https://kite.kagi.com https://github.com/kagisearch/kite-public The feeds for kite seem to be here: https://github.com/kagisearch/kite-public/blob/main/kite_fee... Edit: Actually if you are looking for more things to explore the kagi github has some interesting other stuff like the smallweb page and the opml file of rss smallweb feeds: https://git…
I have tried to use it but it's a bit cumbersome to use for me. I don't want to manually browse the categories I just want to see everything (that I need) on the landing page. It also makes wildly inefficient to use on a desktop/laptop that has more screen real estate than a phone. Until then I will continue to use https://brutalist.report on my computer to catch up on news.

#15I tried but not like it:
- category doesn’t make sense. World are all USA news, business are mostly big tech, tech are most big corp
- the way it digests the news and chop it down to timeline/question/summary feels overly dumb down.
Re: Kagi News (iOS)
#16I use Kagi. I like the search a lot. This is completely irrelevant to what I want from them. At least with Orion browser it’s associated to the general use case of privacy. I fail to see the angle here?
As a long time Kagi user, I absolutely love this. I have tried getting into the RSS game for a long time but it never seemed to stick. This seems like a good middleground because it also follows the Kagi philosophy of simplicity with a wide range of diversity of sources.
As far as I can tell, it's a really nice aggregator of articles with a nice presentation which will hopefully allow me to slowly stop going to news sites multiple times per day. Also, it's a nice way of escaping enshittification in the same way Kagi as a search engine (by being paid) and other Kagi projects (like Small Web) are doing it.

#17OP posted a link to the German app (de). Here's a link to the US app (en): https://apps.apple.com/us/app/kagi-news/id6748314243
Don’t think it’s country dependent. Both the us and de link end up some place for me and I’m in the uk

The world category is clearly US news, indeed.
But they have other countries categories by default in the language of the news themselves with possibility to show that translated in a language of our choice.
So this helps.
I wish they had a scope per source for reliability and political party association.

Brutalist Report looks like the service I was looking for for a long time. Thank you!

Personally I like the newsminimalist rss feed for simple ai evaluated and summarized news. I don't have much experience with the site itself but it's likely also worth a check. The dev is an active part of hn.
