Live web app

Corticorp News

An AI-curated news digest that reads dozens of outlets and gives you one synthesized summary per real-world event — not ten near-duplicate headlines. Stories are clustered across paywall-free sources, sorted by section, and backed by a Verification Desk that checks circulating claims against independent reporting instead of repeating them at face value. Ongoing conflicts get their own live, map-driven situation rooms.

The markets work that grew up inside this app is now its own product. Corticorp Finance moved out to finance.corticorp.com in late August 2026, taking the strategy tracker, the Market Pulse and the Board with it. News keeps the newsroom, and the two sites link to each other.

How it works

Cluster. Synthesize. Verify. Brief.

One summary per event

Instead of ten variations of the same story, articles are clustered into a single real-world event and Claude writes one neutral, synthesized summary of what happened.

Top stories, on the front page

Since October 17, 2026 the home page is Top stories: sixteen slots across every section, five of them kept for the lighter sections, with duplicates removed. It began as a tab two days earlier.

Share any story

Every story and every section has a preview card and a written share line, the three Situation Rooms included, each with a map card of its own. The Share button opens the device's own share sheet, so a story goes wherever the reader already sends things.

Paywall-free sources

Pulls from dozens of freely readable outlets via RSS across World, US, Finance, Entertainment, Sports, Science & Tech, Gaming and Weather, among them DW, France 24, PBS and UN News, with official finance releases and a dedicated feed for each conflict theatre. Feeds whose terms bar this use were dropped, and a merged story redirects to the one that survived.

Situation Room — three live theatres

Dedicated, map-driven coverage for Ukraine, Israel–Palestine, and Iran, each with a satellite Leaflet map, military symbology, a front-line overlay, and topic filters.

Verification Desk

Claims circulating in Situation Room coverage are checked against independent reporting and existing fact-checks. Confirmed, Likely, Unverified, Disputed, or False — each with the evidence shown, not asserted.

A finance section, and a sister site

The news site still carries a finance section of market stories. The simulated strategy tracker, the Market Pulse and the Board that reviews them moved out to Corticorp Finance on its own domain, where they have room to be a product rather than a tab.

Always current

Scheduled digest runs execute inside the server process on a cron schedule, so the feed refreshes on its own without a separate worker.

Full-text search

Every event ever published is searchable, with results ranked by relevance across the whole archive.

Archived & fast

Every digest is stored in a local SQLite archive with extracted article imagery, served from a lean Next.js 16 / React 19 app with light and dark themes.

A look inside

Pages & views

The sister site

Corticorp Finance

Everything about markets that used to live in the Finance tab now has its own domain: forty-four simulated funds publishing every decision and the reasoning behind it, a daily Market Pulse in seven editions, an earnings and macro calendar, and an AI Board reviewing the roster in public. One codebase serves both sites, routed by hostname, so each domain publishes only its own pages.
