About

Ever read a headline and wanted the answer to a simple question about it without having to parse through paragraphs on paragraphs of fluff? Newsify gets the latest headlines from different news sources and topics of your choice, and answers your questions about the headline directly, without ever needing to skim the article.

Newsify uses a publicly available question-answering machine learning model behind the scenes. We get the headlines from a Google News search with your given input, and extract the content of the articles to feed it to the model as context. As such, the model cannot deal with questions which do not have an answer within the article itself. The wording of the questions also might impact the quality of results, so remember to phrase them appropriately.

This repository houses the frontend, while this is the link for the backend. All contributions are welcome.
