The world’s leading experts say we are the future of media:

  • Director of the digital Public Infrastructure Initiative @ UMass Amherst
  • Fmr. Director of the Center for Civic Media @ MIT Media Lab

One of the companies I’m most excited about today is Otherweb, which envisions a web of credible news, free of manipulation and clickbait.


It’s an approach that convincingly demonstrates that another web is possible and that interested users can start now, rather than waiting for structural changes that may take years.

Everywhere you turn it’s just fake news and misinformation, and most people are just really tired of that.


Otherweb is the solution to that problem. You can read the news without all the mess.

Loving it so far! I’ve used this app for a couple days now and I’m really impressed with its ad-free and user-friendly interface. The bullet-point summaries, audio readings, and links to full-length articles are great features that allow for adaptability in my busy schedule. I definitely think this has the potential to become an app I use daily.

Resori, 04/13/2023

News, books, podcasts and courses. All in one!! I really enjoy using this app. Easy to use, flick screen left & right. This app is all you need to keep updated current events/technology/science and more. I also like they have a nutrition label of language and news resources. Using this label to determine if I would like to share an article to someone.

Denise1342, 04/19/2023

Amazing I love how the app is add-feee and junk-free, it makes reading the news easier for me. I can choose between reading it myself or listening to it, I am able to put my phone down and just listen to it which is super helpful. It covers several news companies as well.

A slick user interface

If you like the topic of an article, swipe right (and you’ll see more articles on this topic over time). If you find the topic boring, swipe left (and you’ll see less). If you want to listen rather than read, click a button (or say “listen”) and we’ll play the summary for you. If you want to comment or share, it’s one button-click (or voice command) away.

A bullet-point summary for each news item

Save your time and effort by reading a few short bullet points instead of giant walls of text. Most articles don’t need to be 8000 words. We summarize them for you in a few sentences (and then link to the source).

What's our story?

If you're reading this, you've probably noticed that the quality of information around us is getting worse. You’re right - it is! When people consume bad content, they are more likely to make bad decisions and take bad actions. The extreme partisanship plaguing the US right now is causing most people to view the news through the eyes of their own tribe - while often missing what is actually true. But what if there was a way to view the news as it is seen from Mars? Not just a balanced view, but an external, otherworldly way to consume the news? This is what we’ve set out to achieve, and this is how the public-benefit corporation called Otherweb was born. To illustrate this otherworldly view, we created Marty - your friendly alien know-it-all - who can answer any question and summarize news from hundreds of publications in one place (with the help of AI, of course). We’ve also included traditional feeds and searches, and to these we’ve added hundreds of AI-based filters, customizations, and even bullet-point summaries and nutrition labels for each article - allowing you to be in complete control of your information diet. Please join us in our quest for true information, and stay informed in minutes each day - without noise, clickbait, ads or partisanship. P.S. Otherweb, Inc is a public-benefit corporation, and all our AI models and datasets are source-available. This is how you can be sure that we’re not in this for a quick buck or for an ulterior motive - we are here to improve the quality of information people consume.
