Beforewespeak is a web-based platform designed to provide news briefings that are filtered according to political perspectives. The tool offers features such as creating and editing custom 'lenses' that represent different viewpoints, including an option for a 'Center' lens and the ability to create new ones. Users can analyze daily news briefings, explore trending conversations, and examine which stories and personalities are most talked about, most divisive, or commonly agreed upon across different lenses. The platform also highlights rising and fading topics compared to previous weeks, offering insights into shifts in media attention.
A notable feature is the comparison of where various political lenses disagree or find common ground, allowing users to see which news items are divisive or widely accepted across different perspectives. The tool supports analyzing articles by pasting text or URLs, though some content may be blocked by publishers. There are options to save briefings, manage settings, and explore guides, profiles, and taxonomies relevant to the news landscape. The platform scans news feeds to generate briefings and insights, a process that typically takes 15 to 20 seconds.
