Otis Chandler, the co-founder of Goodreads, introduced the new app Smashing, which can be described simply as the all-encompassing web version of Goodreads that features content from various sources like news, articles, social media posts, podcasts, and more.
One key feature of Smashing is the AI-driven system, Smashing AI, which helps readers perceive the content from different perspectives such as summarizing pros and cons, presenting different viewpoints on controversial topics like politics, and more.
Smashing also relies on a community-driven content recommendation system to determine the popularity or disapproval of articles by the number of recommendations.
Smashing is now open for general user sign-ups after undergoing testing with a limited group, currently available only on iOS.
