About Twigest
Twigest builds a daily briefing from sources you choose. You add public X accounts and keyword searches, subreddits, Hacker News, topic feeds from Google News, Product Hunt, GitHub releases, YouTube channels, RSS or Atom feeds and a private newsletter address, pick a schedule such as daily, weekdays or selected days at a delivery time, and receive one AI-written digest in which every item links back to the original. Newsletters can also be read in the app.
Delivery is by email on all plans and by Telegram on Pro. Personal summary instructions shape how items are summarized. The service stays away from private or protected accounts, content restricted to followers and direct messages, and it says coverage can vary and it does not guarantee capture of every matching post.
Starter costs $9 a month and includes ten X accounts, ten RSS or YouTube feeds, three keywords and three preset topics, while Pro costs $19 a month with thirty accounts, thirty feeds, ten keywords, five topics and Telegram delivery. One personalized preview needs no card, and the 7-day trial requires one.
