Alpha Inquire vs ittybrief

Alpha Inquire builds AI research agents that read news and RSS feeds on topics you choose, then email you a daily digest with summaries and links. You type an interest like AI developments or brand monitoring, pick sources such as Google News, arXiv, Product Hunt, or custom URLs, and the agent runs on a schedule.

Most news aggregators dump headlines without filtering to your thesis. Alpha Inquire lets you configure interests and sources per agent, generates a morning email briefing, and offers prebuilt examples for election tracking, stock pulse monitoring, and competitor brand alerts. That workflow fits analysts who need recurring scans rather than one-off searches.

Researchers, founders, and comms teams use Alpha Inquire to monitor LLM research, watch company mentions, track Product Hunt AI launches, and request custom enterprise agents through the contact form. New accounts can build and test a first research agent for free according to the homepage.

ittybrief was a news curation tool that built personalized daily email newsletters from articles and podcasts matched to topics you chose. The service is no longer operating.

The ittybrief homepage now displays an end-of-life notice stating the team shut down because running costs were too high. Users who enjoyed the briefs can no longer sign up or receive deliveries.
