Hi! I'm Charlie.
🤫 So, this is top secret... but as we're amongst friends...
OneSub - Better News has been working on something rather exciting this summer. ☀️
They're called Charlie 🤖... and they're a very personal news assistant; here to help you get a broad understanding of the world around you - without the stress of online news.
“Why were you lurking under our window?"
"Yes - yes, good point, Petunia! What were you doing under our windows, boy?"
"Listening to the news," said Harry in a resigned voice.
His aunt and uncle exchanged looks of outrage.

We're getting very close to launching a little beta cohort so if you'd like to take part please feel free to get in touch. 👋 💬
If you're interested, we've tried to take a privacy-first approach to building Charlie, which is to say;
🚫 ➜ We use no 3rd party trackers.
🚫 ➜ We serve you no ads.
🙈 ➜ You can chat anonymously, without "Signing Up".
🗑 ➜ We delete your history after 14 days by default.
🗑 ➜ We delete dormant, anonymous accounts after 28 days.
💰 ➜ We don't use or sell your PII for anything in between.
The only way we make money is by providing you an experience so brilliant that you choose to pay for a few extra features... and even then we give 80% of that money away to support real journalism.
Let us know if you'd like to take it for a test drive!
