I asked my iPhone AI agent to brief me on today's news. No apps, no browser, no paywall.

Last month I deleted Apple News and Twitter from my phone. I was spending 30-45 minutes every morning scrolling headlines, opinion pieces, and algorithmic feeds designed to keep me anxious.

Now I open one app, type "what happened today," and get 3 minutes of what I actually care about. This morning's demo: top 3 BBC World News stories, fetched from RSS directly, no apps, no browser, no paywall.

The best part? I can ask follow-ups. "Tell me more about the second one." It reads the source article. Like talking to a person who actually read the news.
