To make sure I find the most relevant existing mobile startups or discussions, could you clarify a few details:
- Should the startups be focused on general information tracking (news, events, updates, etc.) or specifically around media and entertainment like gowatch.ai?
- Are you primarily interested in consumer-facing apps or would B2B tools also be relevant?
- Should I focus on startups launched recently (e.g., last 2–3 years), or is any launch timeframe acceptable?
- Would you like a focus on specific platforms like iOS or Android?
Let me know and I’ll get started right after that!

Great, I’ll look for B2C mobile startups launched in the last 5 years that use a model similar to GoWatch.ai—where users can input a prompt, event, or topic and subscribe to real-time updates about it, whether that's news, events, or other types of information.
I’ll let you know as soon as I have the findings. Feel free to keep chatting with me in the meantime!

Assistant: AI-Driven Personal News/Monitor Apps edit
AI-Driven Personal News/Monitor Apps edit
In recent years several startups have launched mobile apps that let users define arbitrary topics or queries and then receive ongoing updates. These apps typically use AI or smart filtering to “watch” the web for user‑specified content (news, events, price drops, etc.) and push alerts. For example, Yutori’s new Scouts product is described as “always-on AI agents that monitor the web for anything you care about” – you simply “describe what you’re looking for” (e.g. a discount or a news topic) and Scouts will track it continuously and notify you when relevant updates appearaiagent.marktechpost.com[2]aiagent.marktechpost.com[3]. Similarly, the Thieves platform (from Negative Star Innovators) lets you enter a website URL and a natural-language condition (e.g. “alert me when an article about AI and RSS is posted”); its AI agents will check the site on a schedule and “send an instant notification when your conditions are met,” via email, Telegram, Discord, etc.negativestarinnovators.com[4]negativestarinnovators.com[5].
- Scouts (Yutori) – Launched 2025, Scouts are AI “agents” you teach to monitor any topic. Users give a description (even very niche or complex queries like “notify me of price dips below $100” or daily briefs at 10 AM”), and the system operates in the background, autonomously browsing sites and applying filters. When a match is found, Scouts delivers a notification or emailaiagent.marktechpost.com[6]aiagent.marktechpost.com[7]. Fortune Magazine notes this is akin to having a personal “team of agents…monitoring the web for anything you care about,” from ticket deals to breaking newsfortune.com[8]aiagent.marktechpost.com[9].
- Thieves (Negative Star) – A newer AI website-tracker that lets users enter any website and a free‑form condition (written in everyday language). The system uses large language models (Llama, GPT-4o, etc.) to check the page content and notify the user “when your specified condition is met”negativestarinnovators.com[10]negativestarinnovators.com[11]. Alerts can go to email, Telegram, Discord or webhooks. For example, you could monitor a retailer’s page and be notified “when the Intel CPU I want is back in stock.”
- A01 – “Your personal news agent” – A recently launched mobile app (Product Hunt August 2025) focused on AI-powered news alerts. According to its makers, A01 lets you “just tell it what to follow, and it’ll bring you the latest articles” on that topicproducthunt.com[12]. Its website similarly promises that it “helps you easily follow anything you care about in one place” and deliver updates every houra01ai.com[13]a01ai.com[14]. In practice, A01 asks users to specify a topic or keyword (e.g. via voice or text), then its AI fetches relevant news and pushes concise updates.
- YouFeed – “AI News Agent” – A newly launched iOS app (late 2025) whose central pitch is “Follow any topic… or niche interests,” skip endless scrolling, and get real-time updates & breaking alerts for just those topicsapps.apple.com[15]. The App Store description calls YouFeed “your personal AI news agent” built to track what you care aboutapps.apple.com[16]. Users can enter any subject (finance, sports, specific companies, etc.), and the app’s AI scours trusted sources to generate short summaries and push notifications as news arrivesapps.apple.com[17]. YouFeed emphasizes “one or two concise summaries per day” so you “never miss what matters” without information overloadapps.apple.com[18].
- Syft: AI-Native News Agent – An Android/iOS app (100K+ downloads) that markets itself as “your smarter way to stay informed.” Users pick topics of interest – from general categories (tech, finance, culture) down to niche subjects – and Syft builds a personalized news feed around themplay.google.com[19]. The app provides daily briefings (top 3 stories) and real-time updates on user-specified themes. As the Play Store description explains, you “pick your topics—finance, tech, culture, or even niche interests—and Syft builds your news around you,” giving push notifications for important developmentsplay.google.com[20]. In short, Syft lets consumers subscribe to their chosen topics and receives curated news alerts accordingly.
- BLTN News (Bulletin) – A mobile news aggregator (iOS) focused on bias-free reporting. BLTN uses AI to rewrite articles without opinion or spin, and it offers customizable push alerts and daily briefings. Its feature list explicitly promises “Breaking News Alerts – real-time push notifications for major stories” and “customizable alerts by category and country”apps.apple.com[21]. Users can follow specific categories or regions, and the app will push relevant news bulletins as they break. Though BLTN’s emphasis is on unbiased content, functionally it lets users subscribe to topics and receive updates when there’s news in that categoryapps.apple.com[22].
- CuriousCats.ai – A consumer news app (launched circa 2024) that uses AI for personalization. It offers a “personalized news feed” and a real-time topic search featureplay.google.com[23]. Users can train their “news assistant” by indicating interests, and CuriousCats will surface updates from multiple sources. Notably, it advertises a “real-time topic search” that fetches up-to-the-minute summaries on any subjectplay.google.com[24]. While it is more of a general aggregator than an alert system, CuriousCats exemplifies this class of apps: you specify what you want (e.g. a topic keyword) and the app continuously retrieves new relevant articles.
These examples illustrate the trend: B2C mobile apps where the user literally types or speaks a search/query and then subscribes to updates. The AI backend (agent or filter) continuously monitors news feeds, websites, social media, or other data sources for matches. When new content fits the user’s description, the app sends an alert. For instance, a user could ask Scouts or YouFeed for “updates on XYZ company,” A01 to “follow climate change research,” or Thieves to “watch this auction page,” and be notified whenever new articles or changes appear.
Key takeaways: Modern AI/agent startups are building exactly this user-defined alerting logic into mobile apps. They differ from traditional news apps by letting users specify arbitrary topics or conditions in plain language. In all these apps, the workflow is similar: describe what you want to follow → AI monitors and filters content continuously → push notifications or briefs deliver the latest matches. The cited sources above confirm several live products with this modelaiagent.marktechpost.com[25]producthunt.com[26]play.google.com[27]apps.apple.com[28]. In short, there are multiple new B2C mobile apps where you “tell [the app] what to follow” and it brings you all the latest information on that topicproducthunt.com[29]aiagent.marktechpost.com[30].
Sources: Contemporary product descriptions and news articles on these apps were consulted. For example, Yutori’s Scouts was profiled in Fortune as an AI agent system for user-defined monitoringfortune.com[31], and product documentation confirms the “follow anything” interfaceaiagent.marktechpost.com[32]aiagent.marktechpost.com[33]. Similarly, app store listings for A01, YouFeed, Syft, BLTN News and others highlight the user-defined topics and notification featuresproducthunt.com[34]play.google.com[35]apps.apple.com[36]apps.apple.com[37]. These illustrate the current state of such startups.
