Front Page · The Lead Story

The news, tuned to you.

A personalised newsroom that ranks the day around what you actually read — with a Premium AI desk that summarises, briefs and answers on demand.

Pulse is a personalised newspaper. You pick the genres you care about — technology, science, markets, culture, sport — and Pulse arranges the whole day around them. The top of your feed is not the loudest story or the latest one; it is the story most likely to be the part you will actually read.

To prove the point, the newsroom built a working front desk. Below is a live edition of Pulse: switch between For You, Latest and Saved, and tap a story’s TL;DR to see the one-line cut.

Today’s PulseLive ranking
Ranked for you · based on what you read
Above: a live mini-edition — switch tabs & tap “TL;DR”

The ranking engine scores every story on four signals: how close it sits to your genre affinities, how recent it is, how popular it is, and how similar it is to what you have already opened. As you read, the feed re-orders itself — the paper redrafts its own front page in real time.

For those who want the firehose cut to a trickle, a Premium AI desk sits on top: a one-line TL;DR for any story, a Daily Briefing that catches you up in about a minute, and Ask Pulse, a chat that lets you interrogate the day. It is, in the end, a newspaper built to be read — not a slot machine built to be scrolled.
