From summarizing news to making sense of it.

There's no shortage of news, but few places briefly explain why today's stories matter.

CherryPick initially started as a service that delivered concise summaries of news articles.

During development, I began reconsidering how news content could be used responsibly, particularly in relation to copyright and content usage. This led me to rethink the product's direction.

Instead of focusing on summarizing individual articles, I redesigned CherryPick around selecting important stories and explaining the context behind them.

The shift also helped clarify the value I wanted CherryPick to provide.

I built an LLM pipeline on Next.js and Supabase that extracts a fact sheet from each article and writes issue cards from those facts alone.
