What they do
CuriousCats.ai is a proactive AI platform that scans the internet to deliver personalised intelligence briefings
What happened
Founder Anjan Umamaheswaran B, a former Healthify employee, built the platform after leaving in 2025
Why it matters
The platform uses nine AI agents, seven proprietary, and scans over 100,000 sources daily
The details
- CuriousCats.ai is a proactive AI knowledge platform that monitors the internet and delivers personalised intelligence briefings.
- The platform scans over 100,000 unique sources each day.
- It uses nine AI agents, seven of which are proprietary systems built in-house.
- Over 90% of reports are cross-verified across multiple global and local sources.
- A typical user consumes at least 30 reports each day.
- Power users return about six days per week and consume at least 70 reports daily.
- The product went through roughly 500 iterations and seven complete rewrites.
The bigger picture
- The idea originated from founder Anjan Umamaheswaran B's frustration with fragmented information across multiple platforms while working at Healthify in 2024.
- An early version had two cats discussing AI in a WhatsApp-style interface, but users found novelty without lasting utility.
- The company initially believed hyper-personalisation alone was sufficient, but later learned users also expected speed for breaking news.
About the business
- CuriousCats.ai is a proactive AI knowledge platform that monitors the internet and delivers personalised intelligence briefings.
- The platform scans over 100,000 unique sources each day.
- It uses nine AI agents, seven of which are proprietary systems built in-house.
- Over 90% of reports are cross-verified across multiple global and local sources.
- Features include StoryArc (chronological story evolution), CuriousCats POV (attributed opinions from social media), and CuriousFM (audio briefings).
- The platform distinguishes facts from perspectives, attributes claims to sources, and highlights disagreements when credible sources conflict.
- Personalisation approach: personalise what is relevant to the user, but not the facts themselves.
- The product has three information layers: what's happening around the user, what's relevant across the internet, and what's capturing global attention.
