An AI app prepares me for my day now - and I've never been more organized
Former Google developers built a free AI app that turns your schedule and interests into a daily briefing podcast.
Huxe, developed by former Google NotebookLM engineers, represents a new category of AI-powered productivity tools that transform passive information consumption into active daily planning. The free app connects to users' calendars and email accounts, then combines this personal data with curated news based on selected interests to generate a custom morning podcast. What sets Huxe apart is its contextual awareness—the AI doesn't just list appointments but reads email contents to provide relevant context, highlights upcoming events days in advance, and even factors in external elements like weather conditions. During testing, the app reminded a user about a weekend ghost tour while noting unusually warm temperatures and suggesting they bring water.
The app features two AI hosts that deliver content in a conversational format, allowing users to interrupt with questions or skip stories they're not interested in. Setup takes under five minutes, and the system continuously improves through user feedback on interest selections. While initially selecting five interests based on email and calendar analysis, users can fine-tune these preferences over time. The technology addresses a common productivity challenge: helping professionals stay organized during transitional moments like morning commutes without requiring screen interaction. By delivering prioritized information through audio format, Huxe enables users to prepare for their day while handling other tasks like driving or getting ready.
