The Problem
Existing platforms optimize for outrage, not understanding. Users have opinions but no easy way to express them. News apps are read-only — there's no social layer.
The Solution
PinTech turns global news into bite-sized, interactive cards. Free for users. Revenue from aggregated anonymous data insights.
21 open-source news feeds summarized into 2-sentence cards by Claude AI. Flip a card to read the summary — understand any story in seconds.
Go beyond likes. Agree, Disagree, Shocked, Sad, Angry, or Happy — structured opinion data that captures how people actually feel about news.
A 7-tier scoring algorithm learns your interests and surfaces the news that matters to you — breaking stories first, discovery at the edges.
How It Works
