Hi Product Hunt! We’re excited to introduce SumFin, an AI-powered news summary app designed specifically for retail investors. SumFin aggregates financial news from various trusted sources across the internet and condenses them into bite-sized, easily digestible chunks, helping you stay on top of the market without being overwhelmed. As founders, we each have multiple investments across different exchanges and found it challenging to keep up with all the news that could impact our portfolios. This inspired us to create SumFin, a tool to make staying informed easier and more efficient. We currently support US and UK stocks and are working to expand to other major exchanges soon. Who is this for? • Retail Investors: Getting up-to-date quickly with bite-sized articles from verified sources • Investors with Holdings Across Exchanges: Receiving aggregated news by following relevant stocks across multiple exchanges A few use cases and features so far: 1. Quick Market Updates: Stay informed on the latest financial news and market movements with concise summaries. Read trending news on the platform for major market updates. 2. Personalized News Feed: Customize your feed to get news specifically for the companies and industries you are interested in, avoiding the clutter of general news. Customise notifications (coming soon) depending on your preferences. We built SumFin to help you stay informed and make better investment decisions. We’re currently in the beta testing phase and would love for you to sign up for our email list to get early access and updates. Your feedback is invaluable to us, so please let us know if you would use this app and if you have any suggestions. Thank you for checking us out, The SumFin Team

Have you thought about how misinformation might spread if the news sources aren't properly vetted, and what about the potential bias in the articles being selected how are you ensuring diverse perspectives, curious to see how this will play out, especially with the rise of fake news

@lupe_spalla thanks for checking us out, and great question. It’s something we are constantly thinking about with each iteration; maintaining the trust of our users is critical for us. 1. We’ve prioritised the sources we are enabling based on their standing in the financial news industry, their reputation for providing high-quality, trustworthy reporting, and of course them holding valid credentials as a news provider. We always link to the original source of the article, but our goal is to effectively summarise in digestible chunks to help you make smarter and faster investment decisions. 2. ⁠We are constantly both looking for new sources that align with point 1 and also reviewing our existing sources to ensure they continue to adhere to those principles and serve our users properly. 3. ⁠We allow users to customise their experience so that they can filter for the sources they trust the most. 4. ⁠We monitor user feedback and take your comments seriously; our community helps us to keep our sources to a high standard. 5. ⁠No source is free of bias; part of our long-term goal is to provide additional information on the sources themselves so our users are well-informed on the perspectives from which these news articles are being written.

This looks like a handy tool for keeping up with stock market trends. The summarization feature could be a real time-saver.
