Projects

2024

Bento Buzz uses AI to go through 1000 news stories every day, giving them a score from 0 to 10 based on how important they are. Only stories with a score higher than 7 make the cut. It considers factors like the number of people affected, the impact size, uniqueness, recency, reader actionability, positive aspects, and source reliability. This helps Bento Buzz pick out the most interesting and important stories for its readers.
