Most feeds keep you scrolling — filled with algorithmic junk, drug-like short videos, and endless echo chambers. Ancher, instead, keeps you growing. It helps you anchor what matters — learning your intent, filtering the noise, and delivering insights that help you think and act. In Do Mode, explore both sides of a story, see how people react, turn articles into your own post, or let Ancher watch it for you — alerting you when a real breakthrough lands.
I hardly had to spend time thinking about prompts, which I appreciate, but it would be even better if the outputs were faster.
This looks sweet! How do I select more than just read like the greats as an example?

Feels like I finally found an AI tool that thinks with me, not for me！
Ancher
@cruise_chen You got the merit and principle of our product! I'm so glad someone said something that I'm thinking for years...Thank you Cruise!
@cruise_chen Yes! This is what AI should be, partnering with you instead of doing all the work.

@chilarai Appreciate the support! Can I know what is the biggest impression our product provides to you?
Thank you!

@vincentwu800 @william_ancher the product is great. A few suggestions, though
1. Catch Me Up · 10-min Read is distracting. Show a tutorial or show some capabilities instead for new users.
2. I tried the prompts. The responses are excellent, but a few times I thought the output format of the LLM should be better. e.g, the output markdown tables are very hard to read

Congrats on the launch!
How does the system learn user intent over time to improve content filtering and personalization?
Ancher
@sanskarix Thank you, Sanskar! It's a great question - pointing to the most important/difficult part of building a content platform.
In simple words, we don't force users to select so-called "interest tags" at the beginning. But we must learn a bit about you at first (your job, your role, your hobby, just a little something). Then our engine will build the "anchors" that fit your world (well, could be 90% accuracy to be honest), and then we provide all useful tools, agents, and interactions to help you not only read the news, but use the news to do something (like posting an insightful post on LinkedIn that's fitting your persona, like dig into a deep-dive piece to extract the key findings to your work reports)...
During this process, we have an agent to gradually learn about you - we tried it a thousand time, sometimes this agent knows more than ourselves. Yeap, most people can't tell what they actually want...
Hope this gives you a sense? That said, we're now just a v1.0 product. We still have many things to learn and improve, hope you will bear it with us together!
Thanks again!

@vincentwu800 Yes, it does give a sense. In fact, it's a great approach! I wish you all the best for the launch and I'm sure many more features are planned in future.
Ancher
@sanskarix Thank you! Feel very encouraged today
The "living anchor" concept makes sense. Does it actually get better at filtering or does it just accumulate more stuff over time like every other feed?
Ancher
@berghoffer That’s a really great way to put it — and I’d say the truth lies somewhere in between, yet not fully on either side.
On one hand, we believe there’s a natural limit to how much meaningful content a person can truly absorb, reflect on, and connect with in a day. So we don’t want to endlessly pile on or fight for more of your time — that’s exactly what most feeds do, and it leads to fatigue, not growth.
But on the other hand, we’re not building an echo chamber either. The goal isn’t to keep you inside a narrow bubble of what you already know or agree with. Behind the scenes, there’s a science — an algorithmic logic that uses each Anchor as a center of gravity. From that center, it intelligently expands your horizon — bringing in adjacent perspectives, related developments, and diverse voices that enrich your understanding, without overwhelming you.
So, it’s not about more content or less content — it’s about the right expansion, at the right time, around what truly matters to you.
Thank you for your support, Connor!
@vincentwu800 Yeah makes sense, keep it up keen to follow your journey! :)
