User reviews

Tidyread is highly praised for its AI-powered summarization and customization capabilities, enabling users to efficiently manage and consume large amounts of information from RSS feeds and web articles. It is valued for enhancing productivity, especially by reducing information overload for professionals and students. However, users frequently mention issues with summaries failing because of captcha verification on web pages and express a desire for better third-party API support to reduce token costs. Overall, it is considered an invaluable reading companion with some areas for improvement.

Helps filter and organize information to reduce information overload and increase productivity.
Supports customization such as creating personalized content "recipes" and scheduling digests.
Simple, distraction-free reading experience with clutter removal from web articles.
Widely appreciated for its usefulness in academic, finance, and professional contexts.

Cons

Frequent failure of summary generation due to web pages requiring human verification (captcha).
Limited support for third-party APIs, leading to higher token consumption costs.
Occasional issues with source or feed management not mentioned explicitly but implied through requests for more customization.

我习惯信息是主题式，而非单一获取某个站点/某个人的动态。传统的 RSS 是通过订阅更新来获取内容，Google Alerts 支持关键词订阅，也就是订阅某个关键词之后，在 Google 搜索结果里有出现相关的内容时就会推送给我们。前者比较常见，甚至大多数的产品都是这么设计的；而后者比较少，但是也有问题，毕竟那么多信息自己处理（阅读）其实也很难。所以我需要类似Tidyread这种主题式聚合，用简报的形式帮我筛选信息。从自己的订阅源里获取我想要的信息。值得尝试！
