Your morning briefing, personalized. Your news, sports teams, and weather — a 10-minute audio episode, ready before you leave. Built it because it didn't exist.
Built @TailoredAM because I was tired of checking 5 different apps before my commute. One personalized audio briefing every morning — your teams, your tickers, your weather. 9 minutes. That's it.
We generate a completely unique audio episode for every single subscriber. Your name. Your teams. Your stocks. Your city. Your segments. Nothing shared, nothing generic. 16 cents per episode at our current price. We think that's worth it.
We added Catholic News as a dedicated segment this week. Vatican announcements, USCCB statements, feast days, diocesan news — covered the same way we cover everything else. Clearly and respectfully, no editorializing. A few people asked for this and they were right to.
A good morning briefing should sound like a smart friend who read everything so you don't have to. Not a robot reading headlines. Not an algorithm serving outrage. Something that respects your time and actually makes your morning better. That's what we're building.
We switched our text-to-speech provider this week and cut our audio generation costs by 73%. Passed the savings straight to users. That's how you build a product people can actually afford to keep.
Tailored AM now supports Apple Podcasts, Pocket Casts, Overcast, Castro, and YouTube Music. Set it up once and your morning briefing appears automatically — no app opening required. Your phone does the work.
Early users told us $9.99/month was too expensive for a morning briefing. They were right. So we spent a week tearing apart every line of infrastructure cost until we got it under $5/month. Tailored AM is now $5.99/mo — or $59.99/year, which works out to exactly $5 a month.
Hard part about building a personalized morning briefing isn't the AI. It's the details. Making sure your episode is ready before you leave, not after. Making sure you don't hear the same story twice. Been heads down on all of that. Getting there. #morningcommute#podcast
When I switched from bus to car I lost my morning scroll time. So I built an audio briefing that does it for me. Headlines, weather, sports, markets. 10 minutes. Ready when I back out of the driveway.
