What Your Briefing Looks Like
A real sample from March 23, 2026 — Investor lens
Oil Surges 3.8% as Strait of Hormuz Tensions Escalate
Brent crude jumped to $93.40/barrel overnight after satellite imagery confirmed Iranian Revolutionary Guard naval vessels conducting exercises near the Strait of Hormuz.
What this means for your portfolio: Energy stocks are the obvious play — XLE gained 2.1% in pre-market. Lockheed Martin (LMT) is up 3.4%, Raytheon (RTX) up 2.8%.
What to watch: UN Security Council emergency session Tuesday. If China abstains, Brent breaks $100.

Fed Signals June Rate Cut "Increasingly Likely" as Inflation Cools
Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller stated Friday that "the data is moving in the right direction" for a June rate cut. Core PCE inflation came in at 2.4% year-over-year, down from 2.7% in January.
Regional banks (KRE) jumped 4.2% on Friday. The bond market is pricing in a 78% probability of a 25bp cut in June.

Apple's AI Overhaul Sends Suppliers Scrambling
Apple announced a full pivot to custom on-device AI chips for the iPhone 18 lineup, ditching Qualcomm's modem-AI combo in favor of an in-house "Neural Engine Pro" architecture built on TSMC's 2nm process.
What this means for your portfolio: TSMC (TSM) surged 2.1% on the expanded partnership, while Qualcomm (QCOM) dropped 4.7% as investors priced in the lost Apple revenue. Broadcom (AVGO) held flat — their networking chips remain in the supply chain for now.
What to watch:Apple's WWDC keynote in June will reveal benchmark details. If Neural Engine Pro matches M4-class performance on-device, the entire mobile AI supply chain reshuffles.

Glimpse Lens: Geopolitical
"The Strait of Hormuz exercises aren't about oil — they're about leverage ahead of the JCPOA renegotiation. The real question is Turkey's response..."

EU Passes AI Liability Act — Companies Now Liable for AI Decisions
Tech Optimist
Progress requires guardrails
This is exactly what the industry needs. Clear liability rules will separate serious AI builders from hype merchants. Companies with robust testing and safety practices will thrive — this regulation creates a moat for responsible innovators. Expect consolidation, but the winners will build trust at scale.
Key Takeaway
Regulation = competitive moat for serious players
This is what your daily briefing feels like — but for every story, every day.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is Hey Silas?
Hey Silas is an AI-powered daily news briefing service. Every day, our AI reads hundreds of sources and sends you a personalized briefing filtered through your chosen perspective lens — so you get the news that actually matters to you, explained the way you think about it.
What are perspective lenses?
Perspective lenses are the core of what makes Silas different. Instead of generic news, every story is analyzed through your chosen viewpoint — Investor, Entrepreneur, Geopolitical, Christian Faith, or any custom lens you create. Same news, completely different insights depending on your lens.
How is this different from other news apps?
Most news apps give you the same feed as everyone else. Silas doesn't just summarize — it thinks through your perspective. An investor sees the market impact. A parent sees how it affects their family. A policy maker sees the regulatory angle. You get briefings no one else gets because no one else has your exact lens.
Is there a free plan?
Yes! Hey Silas has a generous free plan — you get a daily AI briefing through the Balanced perspective lens with up to 3 topics, forever. No credit card required. If you want access to all 11+ lenses, custom lens creation, unlimited topics, and priority delivery, you can upgrade to Pro starting at $6.58/month (billed annually).
Can I change my topics or lens later?
Absolutely. You can update your topics, switch lenses, or create entirely new custom lenses anytime. Silas adapts to what you care about — as your interests evolve, your briefing evolves with you.
How long does each briefing take to read?
Most briefings take about 5 minutes to read. We respect your time — no filler, no clickbait, just the stories that matter with clear analysis through your lens.
Trusted by Early Readers
Built for People Who Value Their Time
Every briefing is researched, written, and delivered before most people finish scrolling their first feed.
