№ 01 — What is Hey Lefty
The newsroom that reads for you.
The news cycle is faster than any human can keep up with — and the feeds are optimized for outrage, not understanding. Hey, Lefty is an autonomous agent that quietly works the beats you care about across thousands of sources: wires, primary documents, expert blogs, court filings, official statements. It builds a knowledge graph of the stories you're following so each morning's brief doesn't just tell you what happened — it tells you what it means in the context of everything you've been tracking.
№ 02 — How it works
Brief it once. It reads every day.
Tell it what you're following
Drop in beats, regions, or themes in plain English. "Track the war in Ukraine." "Watch US-China tech policy." "Follow the AI regulation debate." Lefty starts reading.
Get your brief, not your feed
Every morning: what happened overnight, what it means, and how it connects to the storylines you've been tracking — fully cited and read in five minutes.
Pull a thread or let it run
Ask follow-up questions, dig deeper into a story, or leave it autonomous. Lefty queues its own next questions and shows you what it's chasing.
№ 04 — Why it's trusted
A briefing is only as good as its sources.
Most AI news tools hand you confident summaries and no way to check them. Lefty links every claim to a primary document or report — so you can quote it, cite it, or push back on it, not just hope it's right.
№ 05 — Who it's for
However you follow the news, Lefty does the reading.
Stay deep, not drowned
You read everything and still feel behind. Lefty does the reading and gives you back the pattern — so you go deeper on fewer threads, not wider on more tabs.
Walk in already briefed
What moved overnight, who said what, and how it lands. A daily brief that catches the angle before the room does.
A living dossier on your beat
Track an issue across weeks and months. Lefty maintains a sourced, structured thread you can pull on — instead of grepping through your bookmarks.
Get the news without the algorithm
No infinite scroll, no engagement bait. Just a structured brief on the topics you chose, with links back to primary sources you can verify.
№ 06 — Use cases
What people follow.
Lefty works for any workflow where staying genuinely current on a topic matters — without living inside a news feed.
Follow more beats without drowning in feeds
Track a dozen storylines as closely as you'd track one. Lefty watches the wires, filings, and primary sources daily and surfaces what's actually new — so you skip the noise.
See how events relate, not just what happened
A protest in one country, a policy change in another, a quiet regulatory shift. Lefty connects events across stories so patterns are obvious instead of buried in your inbox.
Build a real understanding of an ongoing story
Pick an issue — a war, an election, a regulatory fight — and Lefty maintains a living thread that deepens daily, with every claim tied to a primary source.
Walk into the room already up to speed
Policy, comms, research, journalism. Lefty compiles what's material from the last week — coverage, primary docs, expert takes — into a brief you can read before the meeting starts.
