No More Doomscrolling: Sara Beykpour on Smarter News with Particle


Listen Later

Inside Particle’s mission to fix the way we consume headlines—with AI summaries, source transparency, and more.

This week on The Media Copilot, host Pete Pachal welcomes Sara Beykpour, CEO of Particle, an AI-powered news app that’s rethinking what it means to aggregate information in 2025.

Unlike traditional aggregators that simply pile stories into a feed, Particle uses artificial intelligence to assemble a comprehensive summary of any given topic—highlighting key facts, surfacing original sources like tweets or trailers, and analyzing bias across coverage. It’s curation with context, and it’s changing how people interact with the news.

Pete and Sara dig into:

🔹 What makes Particle different in a long line of aggregator apps

🔹 How “liquid content” turns a 30-minute article into an 8-minute podcast

🔹 The concept of personalized news agents powered by AI

🔹 Why AI is giving users more control than ever over how they consume media

Whether you’re in the trenches of journalism, building tools for content creators, or just trying to stay informed in a smarter way, this episode is packed with insight.
