About Praxis
Restoring choice and autonomy in news consumption through innovative design and thoughtful technology.
Our Mission
We all know how overwhelming the news feels these days. How divided things seem. How hard it is to know what's real or what we're missing. We wanted to build something that helps people step outside of that—something that makes it easier to see the full picture, reflect on your own biases, and engage more thoughtfully.
Over the last year, we've been working on solving one big question: how can we help people take back control of what they read, think, and believe in a world dominated by algorithms and outrage?
The Problem We're Solving
Today, our choices—what we watch, listen to, and even how we think—are often dictated by opaque systems designed to maximize engagement. On social platforms like X and Facebook, algorithmic influence has turned news consumption into a dangerous process, funneling people into personalized silos and creating disparate, disconnected information bubbles.
The result is an algorithmically-controlled landscape where critical stories bypass users' feeds entirely, leaving them unaware of the broader news ecosystem. We believe there's a better way.
What Makes Praxis Different
Praxis is a simple, swipe-based news aggregator and media literacy tool that lets you explore news visually, based on political bias and content type. Instead of getting stuck in a never-ending feed, you swipe through stories with intention. You can save, share, and even post articles to a social feed to spark conversation—not division.
The News Graph
A visual representation of the entire news landscape, mapping political bias and content type. You choose where your news comes from on any given topic.
Reliable News Standard
Using an aggregation of three nonpartisan independent news rankers, we ensure all content meets a baseline standard for trustworthiness across the ideological spectrum.
Single Card Browse
A focused, distraction-free experience where you engage with one article at a time, reducing "news fatigue" and encouraging conscious engagement.
AI Insights
Our proprietary retrieval agent offers AI insights into every article, helping you dive deeper into any issue with quality information and limited hallucinations.
Our Team
Founded by four civic-minded individuals passionate about reshaping news consumption, our team brings together expertise in strategy, design, full-stack development, and AI systems.
We're a next-generation platform designed to empower individuals with the tools to control their news experience, bridging the gap between traditional news aggregators and social network platforms.
Why Praxis Matters
Our vision is simple: empower individuals to take control of their news consumption while fostering a more informed and connected society. We put users in charge of their own algorithm, provide transparency about the broader news landscape, and encourage debate, exploration, and meaningful engagement.
More than anything, we hope Praxis helps people open up friendlier, more curious conversations across divides. We've already seen early users recognize their own blind spots, discover new perspectives, and break out of their usual bubbles. That's what keeps us excited every day.
