Yahoo revives Artefact in its new AI-powered News app.
Artifact is dead, long live the Yahoo version of Artifact. The architecture behind Artifact, the news aggregation app created by Instagram co-founders Kevin Systrom and Mike Krueger, will continue to run inside the brand new Yahoo News app. Available to download today on iOS and Android, the new
Yahoo News app brings an AI-powered personalized news feed for users based on their interests, while a feature called Key Takeaways can give a bullet summary of a news article when a reader is feeling TL;DR. Other features of the Yahoo News app include Top Stories, which picks up on trending stories for users to read and will soon include key takeaway summaries. You can block stories with unwanted keywords and filter specific publishers according to your preferences. Like Artifact, Yahoo News lets you tag content as clickable headlines and then let AI rewrite them into something better.
Yahoo bought this topic in April with an open amount, so it was released from bypass. After attempting to get to Twitter on the social media platform, the artifact lost itself in the last life of life, although its original goal was "Text TIK". Yahoo hasn't said it has returned all the social features of the topic, but the new application allows you to share the article with your friends. It also has a gamified "streak" feature and badges you can show others for being a heavy reader.
Yahoo is also taking some of what it's building in the News app to the Yahoo News online website. Starting today, the site has a new layout that highlights the latest news, provides personalized recommendations and displays trending topics. The new site experience is optional.
