How it works

Read it. Pick a voice. Talk it through

Akhbar brings together headlines and short summaries from news outlets’ official feeds, and lets you question each story through an AI persona. Here’s what happens, and the rules every answer follows.

1

Read the headline

Stories come straight from outlets’ official feeds: a headline, a short summary, the outlet’s name and a link to the full report on their site. Akhbar never rewrites the summary.
2

Pick a voice

Choose a persona, from a sober News Analyst to a Cosmic Entity. Each has its own tone and example questions. Where more than one AI model is available, you can choose that too.
3

Ask, up to 6 times

Answers stream in word by word, in your language. Numbered markers show which sentence of the summary each point comes from. When a conversation is used up, start a fresh one.

The answer rules

These rules hold whichever persona or model you pick. They open every instruction the AI receives.

Grounded in the story

Answers draw only on the outlet’s headline and summary. If the summary doesn’t say, the answer says so instead of guessing. Citations show where each point comes from.

Respect on sensitive stories

On stories about death, disaster, war, illness or hardship, playful personas step aside and the page quietens down. The facts are still there, and so is a calm voice to explain them.

Conduct rules

No insults, no hate, no personal attacks. Personas can be witty, and the political voices argue a point of view, but none of them invents facts or targets people. The editor keeps these rules up to date.

Fair-use limits

Akhbar is free and runs on a small budget, so questions are limited for everyone in the same way. Limits are counted without keeping your IP address in readable form.

500 characters per question
6 questions per conversation

The voices

A persona changes the tone, never the facts. Every answer is grounded in the story you’re reading.
