The new Select Best button on the Compose page uses AI to automatically choose the most relevant stories for each section of your newsletter. It looks at your AI Writer's voice profile and section structure, then picks stories that fit each section best.
You can still hand-pick stories the old way. Smart Select is there for when you want a quick starting point.
Each section of your AI Writer can have its own story count: how many stories the AI should feature in that section. A "Top Stories" section might get 5, while a "Quick Hits" section gets 2. The AI respects these counts when generating your newsletter, so the output matches your intended structure without manual trimming.
Story counts are set during training and are adjustable anytime from the AI Writer details page.
If your 14-day trial ends without subscribing, your account pauses. Sources stop syncing (no new stories are collected), and newsletter generation is disabled. When you log in, you'll see a prompt to subscribe.
Your data stays exactly where you left it. Subscribe anytime to reactivate and pick up where you left off.
The login, registration, email verification, and password reset pages now follow your dark mode preference. Previously, dark mode only kicked in after you logged in.
The registration page now has a checkbox (on by default) to receive product tips and newsletter growth advice from HeyNews. Uncheck it if you'd rather not.
The HeyNews browser extension got a full visual refresh with updated branding. It's now listed on the Chrome Web Store.
