About this app
Cairn is an archive of artificial intelligence.
Every day the world ships a hundred AI headlines and forgets them by morning. Cairn is built the opposite way: today's news arrives as short, readable cards — and every card sits inside the longer story that led to it.
WHAT YOU GET
• Today, in 60 words
Each story is distilled to a calm, 60-word card. No autoplay, no outrage, no infinite scroll engineered to keep you up at night. Just what happened, and why it matters.
• The history, organized
Behind every headline is a timeline. Cairn arranges AI's story into branches (the ongoing threads — research, models, policy, hardware) and eras (the chapters), so a new announcement isn't an isolated shock. It's the next node in a line you can trace backward.
• Guided Tours
Curated walkthroughs lead you step by step through a connected sequence of events — from a field's origins to this week's news — so you can actually understand a topic instead of just reacting to it.
• Why it matters
The stories that count carry a short "why it matters" note, so you're never left guessing whether a headline actually changes anything.
• Notifications that respect you
A few times a day, Cairn surfaces the handful of stories worth your attention, plus a gentle end-of-day catch-up on what you missed. Breaking news reaches you fast; everything else waits for morning. You choose how much you hear.
• Real sources
Every card links back to the original reporting. Cairn summarizes — it never replaces the source.
WHO IT'S FOR
Anyone who wants to follow artificial intelligence seriously without drowning in it: builders, researchers, investors, students, and the simply curious.
Cairn is quiet by design. Read a little, understand a lot, and put your phone down
