Last week we launched Links on ARTIFACT and the reception has been amazing. I wrote a short links post detailing how the machine learning behind links works artifact.news/posts/p/149206…

Today, we're launching Links on Artifact. Now you can use the app to discover more than news - anything interesting on the web - powered by AI. Download the latest to check it out. medium.com/artifact-news/…

Today we're launching the ability to listen to articles on Artifact, powered by @Speechify_audio. Choose from 30+ voices including fun, celebrity voices like Snoop Dogg and Gwyneth Paltrow. Available now on iOS, and coming soon to Android.

We recently launched interactive 3D cards to represent reading levels on ARTIFACT - all unique to each user. We learned some tips for implementing 3D on iOS/Android along the way. Here's a bit about how we designed the details 🧵

Exciting update in @artifact_news: our reading level cards just got an interactive 3D makeover. Visit your profile, tap your current level, and see the magic for yourself. Curious how we did it on iOS and Android? Here's the thread: 🧵

One of the most requested features on Artifact now available!

Today we're launching three new features that make it more fun and useful to read with Artifact. Thread 🧵

New to Artifact: Follow Writers. We all have our favorite writers, now you can follow them on Artifact. We'll prioritize their articles at the top of feed. We believe in helping writers build an audience and giving more control to users. medium.com/artifact-news/…
