Sara Beykpour: The Next Chapter in News Aggregation

In this episode, host Nikita Roy is joined by Sara Beykpour, co-founder and CEO of Particle News — the AI-powered news aggregator. Launched in November 2024, Particle blends multi-perspective coverage, concise AI-generated summaries, and a bias meter that makes framing visible, giving readers both speed and trust in the same experience.

Key topics include:

• How Particle’s “Reality Check” process works using multi-source input and verification passes to minimize hallucinations and produce more accurate summaries.
• Strategies Particle uses to maintain reader trust in an era when AI-generated summaries can quickly erode it.
• How Particle surfaces bias with a meter that shows how coverage leans left, right, or center and updates as stories develop.
• The role of topic-based personalization in avoiding filter bubbles while still giving readers tailored news feeds.
