Get Your Own Briefing

Tell us a bit about yourself and we'll build a personalized news briefing delivered to your inbox every morning. It takes about 2 minutes.

See a sample briefing to get a feel for what you'll receive.

1 What should we call you?

First name or nickname is fine.

2 Email address

This is where your briefing lands each morning.

3 What do you do?

Your role shapes how we frame the news. A founder hears about regulation differently than an engineer or a teacher. One sentence is plenty, and "retired" is a perfectly fine answer.

4 What do you read or listen to now?

Newspapers, newsletters, podcasts, YouTube channels, subreddits — anything you already like for news or ideas. Helps us understand your taste.

5 What do you want to stay on top of?

Tell us what matters to you — work, hobbies, interests, your city, whatever. The more specific the better. "AI" is fine, but "AI tools for coding" or "how AI is changing healthcare" gives us a much sharper briefing.

6 Anything you don't want?

Topics, publications, or types of sources you'd rather not see.

7 Where should your news come from?

Mainstream NYT, WSJ, BBC, Reuters, Bloomberg, etc. Independent Substacks, niche trade press, expert blogs, smaller outlets Mix of both Established outlets for the big stuff, independents for depth and unique angles

8 How much time do you want to spend?

Quick scan ~1 min audio, 6 stories. Just the headlines and why they matter. Standard ~4 min audio, 12 stories with context. Deep dive ~8 min audio, 20 stories with analysis and perspectives.

9 When do you want it, and what timezone?

We'll have it in your inbox before the time you pick.

10 How did you hear about Beta Briefing?

Optional — just helps us understand how people find us.

11 Anything else?

Totally optional. Any other preferences, comments, or things we should know.

We'll set up your briefing and email you when it's ready — usually within a day or two.
