An AI-Powered App That's Worth Checking Out

Image
Yeah, FaceApp is cool and all but have you heard of the news app powered by AI? I'm guessing that's a no since barely anyone has posted about it on social media. Nonetheless, the app I'm talking about is called Logically - News Powered by AI . The application uses a combination of Extended Intelligence machine learning, Natural Language Processing, and human oversight to help combat fake news. If you didn't know already, there are hundreds if not thousands of fake news posts being spread across the web each day which makes it difficult to distinguish between what's true and what's false. Logically basically analyses the articles and verifies them by comparing the data to other information on the subject. Well, that's a pretty toned-down version of the actual process. The application also offers an AI-generated summary for each story to help you catch up with the news without having to read the whole article. What's even more impre

Just a couple of days after the launch of the Redmi K20 and K20 Pro in India, Xiaomi has unveiled the Mi A3 in Spain with a starting price of 249 Euros . The company was tight-lipped regarding the Mi A series smartphone up until a few days ago when it started teasing a few features we'd get to see with the successor to the Mi A2. As several rumors suggested, the Mi A3 is a rebranded Mi CC9e which was launched in China a month ago. Of course, there's no MIUI here and we've got Android One on-board like the previous Mi A series smartphones.
