Smashing, developed by Goodreads co-founder Otis Chandler, is an innovative app aimed at creating a community around curated web content and facilitating diverse engagement through AI.
Chandler highlights the app's AI Questions feature, which allows users to explore different perspectives on news stories, such as examining both political viewpoints or financial arguments.
With a variety of AI prompts available, users can engage creatively with content—whether it's simplifying information, creating timelines, or even generating humorous takes, fostering deeper understanding.
Smashing also enables users to tailor their experience with multiple interest feeds, helping them stay updated on specific topics ranging from global politics to niche interests like climate change.
