软餐获悉,新闻聚合应用程序 Artifact 即将关闭。该应用由 Instagram 联合创始人凯文·西斯特罗姆(Kevin Systrom)和迈克·克雷格(Mike Kreiger)打造,于去年 1 月推出内测版本。Artifact 使用 AI 向读者推荐新闻内容,其摘要工具可以总结新闻报道的要点。该应用被 Google Play 评为 2023 年最佳日常必备应用。Kevin Systrom 解释说该应用的 “市场机会还不够大,不足以保证以这种方式继续投资。初创公司很容易忽视这一现实,但通常更早地做出艰难的决定对所有相关人员都更好。”
The news aggregation application Artifact is set to shut down. The app was created by Instagram co-founders Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger and launched its beta version in January of last year. Kevin Systrom explained that the “market opportunity for the app wasn’t big enough to justify continued investment in this way. Startups often overlook this reality, but it’s usually better for everyone to make the hard decision earlier.” Artifact used AI to recommend news content to readers, and its summarization tool condensed key points from news articles. The app was named the Best Daily Essential App of 2023 by Google Play.
