Competitor comparison

Audio news on the go
For the users, who want to access the news while on the go and are not able to read it, can use the audio feature of the app to listen to the news. This feature of the app is already popular with the beta users of Shortpedia.
Video aggregation
With India’s growing appetite for videos and consumption getting high across different social media channels, Shortpedia aggregates the popular and trending videos for the viewers. Shortpedia is the right platform for all your video filtering requirements where the app filters out the best videos from various platforms, such as Youtube, Facebook, etc. in various categories. The app enhances the video experience by helping you pick the video that you want to watch.
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning enhance experience
In the starting days of product development, the makers of Shortpedia realised that technology can play an important role for the better experience of the short news app. From the previous model where the editorial team used to summarize the short news manually, Shortpedia, since the last 8 months, is working on AI-based news summarisation model.
To take news summarisation to the next level through AI and ML, Shortpedia has hired a few experts from Bangalore and Nepal. After getting the automated summary, the team does manual check in beta. Through this model, the team aspires to increase the daily news count for the readers.
