HeyNews helps you turn the stories you care about into a newsletter draft that sounds like you. Connect your newsletter so HeyNews can learn from past issues, then add the sources you trust and choose what to cover. It writes the draft, subject line, and preview text for you to review and refine before you send. We built it for our own newsletters after spending too many hours each week collecting links and staring at a blank page.
Launched May 12, 2026
