One of the challenges I face as a AI engineer/leader/founder is knowing about what's important in AI and what's noise. It's hard to understand what really matters and what tools I should use and not use.

To help solve for this, I created BrightRay. It currently tracks 340 AI leaders across X, blogs, the web, and papers, and then distills these into daily, weekly, and monthly summaries.

It tells me what really matters and what to avoid. I'm reading it daily now.

I want this to be valuable to more people than just me, so I'm sharing it. It's early and rough, so please give me feedback on how to make it better.

Here's my site to try out: https://brightray.ai/ You can leave me comments here, or just click on the 'Make a wish' button.

Sakana AI's announcements is clickbait - https://brightray.ai/summary/deb-e1ed2d7b3181?via=mountaind

hi all, I find it very hard to keep on top of what the best AI experts are actually saying and hate noisy/spammy AI news, so I built a tool that tracks what the top AI engineers/leaders actually say (it includes ~200 people so far - Demis, Ilya, Dario, Karpathy, etc.) across X, web, github, papers, and their blogs.

Useful? How to make it more useful to you? I can add/remove stuff quickly so let me know.


This looks very useful - thanks. I have an idea. What about making your tags clickable topics that can act as search filters and be explored. For example, in the Pulse section what if you made "professor" listed after a person's name a clickable weblink that would filter the Pulse section to just show entries for people who fit the "professor" tag, etc.?


Thanks for the suggestion! I'll look at adding this and then will post an update here once I have that live.


hi, just a note that I added in clickable tags and clickable names and it's live now.

Please let me know what other suggestions you have to make it better for you!


hi all, made some more improvements to the site: - added about 100 more AI thought leaders that the site now follows - improvements in how the Pulse (the Daily Summary) is generated. i'm still not fully happy with it and will be making more improvements to it over the next few days.


hi all, i made a few updates today that are now live on brightray.ai

Update: - added in the clickable tabs (thanks MrCoffee! for the suggestion!) - also made people clickable (to filter to see articles only from them) - separated Daily Summary and the live feeds so both are easier to see - some articles were click-baity and removing those by better filtering

Please let me know more sugggestions!


hi all, made some more requested updates:

- added light mode - made everything easier to read (bigger text and less text) - removed some of the fake controversy articles. going forwards it should be better at filtering these out. - more comprehensive and more clear daily summaries.

Please let me know what else you need it to do better!
