Founded by Marie van der Klink & Carine Fattal

They’re design engineers who met five years ago during their Masters at Imperial College London. They previously worked together on a research app for students and researchers - through which they realized there’s a ton of valuable content locked away in long formats or hidden in unread emails. Now, they’re using LLMs to turn all this content into a personalized feed for smarter scrolling.

🚫 Unopened newsletters, lengthy reads, hidden links…

There’s a ton of valuable content out there, but key insights are often buried in long formats or hidden behind multiple clicks. With faster consumption habits, finding specific information for work or topics you care about often ends up with you prompting an LLM or typing into a search bar.

You can subscribe to newsletters, but they tend to be lengthy and rarely specific enough for the applications or areas that matter to you. More than half of them remain unopened, and less than 1% actually lead to a click-through.

Then, there are podcasts, web articles, and blog posts scattered across the web and your different devices. Not to mention research papers, which hold highly valuable insights but are hard to find through a simple browser search and often end up unnoticed.

📜 Knowledge back on a scroll

et al. turns scrolling into a smarter habit. You tell them your interests and what sources you follow and they curate a personalized feed of short insights you can scroll through daily.

They use LLMs to extract content from your newsletters, research papers, podcasts, and more by navigating through all the relevant links to identify the original piece of information. They then generate insights directly from that source and allow you to read as little or as much as you want from the original content.

With et al., you get to build your knowledge, discover new interests, and stay on top of the breakthroughs that matter to you - all in one place.
