What et al. does
et al. is a mobile app that aggregates your newsletters, research papers, articles, and more, in one place. Think of it as an LLM-powered feed delivering you useful content in short insights. For example, if you’re building an AI voice agent, you’ll see the latest in speech-to-text models without having to actively search, go through a pile of research papers, or prompt an LLM. We extract key takeaways from long-form content - allowing you to read as little or as much as you like from the original piece of information. With et al., you get to stay on top of breakthroughs in your field, build knowledge, and discover new interests effortlessly.

Feed of insights extracted from your go-to sources.
We are building a mobile app that consolidates your newsletters, research papers, articles, and other long-form content into a single feed. Using large language models, we extract and surface key insights so you can stay updated on topics you care about without reading everything in full. For example, someone working on AI voice agents can quickly see updates on speech-to-text advances without digging through lots of papers or running manual queries.
We live in London, United Kingdom. After YC we would continue to base the company here.
London is where we are based and building the product. We have access to talent and a user base here, so it makes sense to continue after YC.
