Kolom AI

News intelligence

Pulls news from many sources and summarises each story to sixty words, auto-categorising and fact-checking it before a reader sees it. Built for web and mobile, so a feed stays short without going thin.

S01The business

The news, without the scroll

Kolom.ai is a news app for readers who want the story and not the feed: it gathers reporting from many sources and returns each story as a short summary, sorted by topic. The product is mobile-first, with a web app alongside.

As described by the product's own screens

What we built

  1. Multi-source aggregation
  2. 60-word AI summaries
  3. Auto-categorisation
  4. Fact checking

Each line has a number. A frame further down that shows it carries the same one.

What it had to do

  1. Pull one story together from many sources.

  2. Say it in sixty words.

  3. File it under the right topic, and check it before it is shown.

S02Design

A feed built to be finished

Sixty words is a design constraint before it is an engineering one: a card has to hold a headline, a summary and a source without becoming a wall. The app is dark, with one blue for anything you can act on, and topics and categories on the first screen so a reader chooses what to see rather than scrolling for it.

S03Engineering

Many sources in, sixty words out

The pipeline takes a story from several sources, summarises it to sixty words, assigns it a category and runs a fact check before it reaches a reader — on the web and on mobile.

  • Multi-source aggregation
  • 60-word AI summaries
  • Auto-categorisation
  • Fact checking

S04Infrastructure

Checked, staged, then shipped

A change reaches production through a CI/CD pipeline with automated tests, by way of separate dev, UAT and production environments. It is deployed on Vercel.
