About Owl Post

Last updated: June 2, 2026

What Owl Post is

Owl Post is a daily news digest, curated by AI and written in a voice that fits how you read. You pick your topics and your style. Every morning your owl arrives with a short, signal-dense briefing on the things you actually care about, ready in about three minutes. Free forever. No spam, just owls.

Who is behind Owl Post

Owl Post is led by its founder, Justin Wright, who is also the editor of record: the accountable human behind what the digest publishes and how it is made. Owl Post is independent and reader-funded. We make money from subscriptions, not from selling your data. Questions, feedback, and corrections reach a real person.

How your digest is made

Owl Post is AI-curated and AI-written, with a named human editor accountable for the result. Here is how a digest comes together.

  • Reading: every night our AI reads thousands of sources through curated feeds, pulling only the categories you chose.
  • Ranking: stories are scored for relevance and freshness. Near-duplicates are collapsed, and a source-diversity pass keeps any single publisher from dominating.
  • Selecting: a selector model picks the strongest stories from the pool before a single summary is written.
  • Summarizing: a second model writes concise summaries and your Perch intro, rendered in the voice you chose. We summarize real reporting. We never fabricate.
  • Filtering: a quality grader and hard-rejection rules drop low-signal, off-topic, and AI-generated filler items, and a per-source cap keeps the briefing diverse.
  • Honesty over filler: when the feeds return nothing reliable in the freshness window, the digest says so instead of inventing a story.
  • Attribution: every story links back to the original publisher, and that publisher stays the named source. Owl Post curates and links. It does not republish or claim another outlet's reporting as its own.
