What is Attache?

Attache is an AI calls tool. A personalized news briefing delivered by phone call. Attaché dials you at a chosen hour with overnight developments in the stories you follow, lets you interrupt and ask questions, and ties today's reporting back to topics you raised weeks earlier.

Attaché is a news product that delivers a personalized briefing as a spoken phone call instead of a feed, an app or a newsletter. At an hour you pick, it calls you and walks through what moved overnight in the stories you follow. The format is conversational: you can interrupt mid sentence, ask a follow up, or push on a detail, and the briefing responds. It works on a mobile, a landline, a car system or a smart speaker, so the only hardware required is a phone line. The feature that separates it from a standard podcast or audio digest is memory. Attaché builds what it calls a story graph from the topics you follow and the questions you have asked, and it uses that history to frame new reporting. A story about oil prices is presented in the context of an earlier question about mortgage rates; a corporate acquisition is tied back to a topic you raised months ago. The call references those earlier threads explicitly, so coverage compounds rather than resetting each morning. You can also call in when news breaks, or text a link to any article and have Attaché read it and call back with an explanation of how it connects to what you already track. It is aimed at people who want to stay informed without scrolling: commuters, drivers, and anyone who finds reading a feed less efficient than listening and talking back. Source material is drawn from major newsrooms including Bloomberg, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Economist and WIRED, plus hundreds of others, so it is closer to a personal analyst than a single outlet's podcast. The comparison that matters is not with news apps but with audio briefings. Those are one way and identical for every listener; Attaché is two way and shaped by your own history. The trade off is that a spoken call is harder to skim, and the whole experience depends on a working phone line rather than a browser tab.

  2. 2Start the free Premium week

  3. 3Choose the topics you follow
    Tell Attaché which stories you care about. This seed list drives the morning call and is the base layer of the story graph that later questions attach to.
  4. 4Set your call hour
    Pick the time Attaché should dial you each morning. The briefing covers what moved overnight, so an early slot captures the most of the news cycle.
  5. 5Talk back during the call
    Interrupt with questions, ask for more detail on a story, or push on a number you did not understand. Those exchanges become the history Attaché uses to frame later calls.
  6. 6Text an article and wait for the callback
    Send any link by text message. Attaché reads the piece and calls back to explain what it means for the stories you follow.
