# thinkO

> thinkO is an AI-powered news app for busy young Indians that filters and curates news to reduce information overload, anxiety, and doomscrolling. Built around the principle "from dots to direction," it transforms a fragmented 45-minute news consumption ritual into a focused 10-minute daily catch-up using AI summarization, bias filtering, source verification, and personalization.

thinkO operates on four pillars: **Read** (AI-generated editorial-grade summaries), **Listen** (audio briefings), **Watch** (short-form video highlights), and **Ask** (a conversational assistant grounded in today's verified news). It monitors 5,000+ articles daily, verifies important stories across multiple independent sources, and explains how each story affects a reader's money, career, health, social life, or world.

The mobile app is free on iOS and Android, supports English and Hindi, and does not run ads or sell user data. A web experience is available at app.thinko.in.
