How it works

FlashFeed combines automated news aggregation with analysis by artificial intelligence. Here's how, step by step, what you see in the app comes to be.

1. Gathering the news

Every half hour or so we check the RSS feeds of many trusted newsrooms — Polish and international — across a range of fields: technology, sport, business, politics, science and more. We pull in the headline, the lead and a link to the original article.

2. AI summarization

Each story is analysed by a large language model (Claude, by Anthropic). Its job is narrow and precise: take the most important facts out of the text and write them up as a short, matter-of-fact summary — no clickbait tone, no making things up, and no adding details that aren't in the source.

3. Cutting the clickbait

We deliberately instruct the model to avoid bait language: no "you won't believe what happened", no hiding the punchline. If the original headline is sensational, the summary brings it back down to what actually happened.

4. Two languages

Summaries are produced in Polish and English in parallel, so both versions carry the same content.

5. Always a link to the source

Every article shows the newsroom's name and a link to the original. The summary is there to help you quickly decide what's worth your time — you'll always find the full, original story at the source.

What the AI does not do

• It doesn't create news from scratch — it works only on the text of existing articles.
• It doesn't judge or comment — it summarizes the facts, it doesn't add opinions.
• It doesn't replace journalists — all the reporting is done by the newsrooms we cite.

Limits, and your part

AI can get things wrong. Although we keep refining the rules, a summary may contain a simplification or an error. So treat it as a quick overview, and for anything important always confirm the information at the original source. If you spot a mistake, let us know at kontakt@flashfeed.pl — we fix those by hand.
