Drooid: Unbiased News from All sides
Hello everyone, I built an AI news app that shows multiple sideses of the same story through short, clear summaries. It pulls information from 1000s of news sources, highlights their bias and reliability. Provide full breakdowns of stories that tells what happened, why it matters, and where sources disagree. Problem: People get news on social media platforms, social media platform give you news that conforms to your biases, so you are not exposed to opposing or different viewpoints. A normal person can read from handful of the original news sources and these are also not free from editorial and political biases. Comparison: Unlike Ground news, Drooid doesn’t just show headlines. Drooid highlights difference right away. Drooid has better filters, that let you see how different sides are covering different news events. Ground news doesn't have full breakdowns. Pricing: Drooid follows a freemium model, with an annual subscription at $29.99/year and a monthly subscription at $3.99/month Download Drooid on the App Store Changelog/Roadmap https://docs.google.com/document/d/1abX-ObDzXsH-3EB2zgt2IZCcEKeEesm4rMWDuyUqwrw/edit?usp=sharing Disclaimer: News summaries on Drooid are generated using AI. The app was coded with the help of Claude Code. Cheers!

Just what we need. An AI written app that spits out AI written news. Have we reached the bottom?
You’re forgetting the monthly subscription…
I have not been able to reach drooid.social for a couple of weeks.
Let me look into it, I need to overhaul the website to have all features of the mobile app, but the website is working okay. Can you try it again. https://drooid.social/
Yes, I can connect. Thank you.
Pretty much unusable on a Mac, due to constrained window size and poor page layout. Also, using this in free mode is incredibly frustrating. After about 4 popup screens in 5 minutes to subscribe, I deleted the app. Users shouldn't be forced to jump through hoops to make an app work and to subscribe before they've tried it out.
I am sorry to know that you had poor exprerience with Drooid, I DMed you to understand your problem better, Thanks for the feedback.
Looks good! Will give it a try. Can you share what models do you use to make the comparisons?
We use LLMs(Gpt 4o) to compare the articles with each other. We rely on third party databases like Ad Fontes to get the bias ratings for the news publications.
why not newer models? Gpt4o it's gonna be deprecated soon
