AI-created, human-edited.

Huxe is a new AI-powered app designed to help you stay informed about what matters most—without extra effort or information overload. According to Huxe co-founder Raiza Martin on Intelligent Machines, the app creates an interactive, hands-free audio feed from your personal and curated sources, such as emails, calendars, newsletters, social media feeds, and custom topics. It’s like having a 24/7 radio station about your digital life, always up to date and always on.

What Does Huxe Do? AI Radio That’s Personal and Passive

Huxe stands out by combining active and passive information gathering. Unlike traditional podcasting or typical AI chatbots that require prompts and interaction, Huxe automatically compiles and reads out your updates, major news items, newsletters, calendar events, and any topics you follow.

You can passively listen as if tuning into a radio station or actively interact using your voice—pause, ask follow-up questions, or dig deeper into any topic. Key integrations include:

• Email and Calendar: Huxe pulls from Gmail, Google Calendar, and (soon) more providers, extracting appointments, events, and newsletters for your daily briefing.

• Custom Channels: Users can link Twitter (X), Reddit, specific blogs, RSS feeds, or even upload text, creating a fully custom news or interest blend.

• Flexible Voices: The app employs AI-generated, natural-sounding voices for variety and authenticity, letting you pick your preferred speaker style.

Raiza Martin, originally part of the team behind Google’s NotebookLM, explained that while both tools share some DNA, Huxe is focused on real-time, always-on audio rather than static conversational note-taking or document management.

Where NotebookLM is used for deep dives, podcast creation, and summarizing static content, Huxe is designed for hands-free, continuous listening—transforming your incoming flow of information into a digestible, interactive audio format. This means daily routines like listening to the news while brushing your teeth or driving can now be ultra-personalized, extending beyond mainstream headlines to your niche interests, personal data, or even a child’s school events.

Martin emphasized on the show that Huxe does not store or permanently keep your personal data. The app accesses information in real time, processes it for your briefing, and does not use your data to train its AI models. This design alleviates many privacy concerns tied to integrating sensitive channels like email or calendars.

Huxe utilizes commercially available AI voice models, sourcing a wide variety of realistic voices and tailoring them to different content types (news, sports, science, etc.). This means users won’t get “voice fatigue” and can pick the style that matches their content.

Interactivity is built-in: at any point, users can hit the mic button to ask follow-up questions, request more details, or adjust the feed. Over time, users report moving from passive listening to increasingly interactive sessions as they get comfortable with the feature.

Users can build highly customized channels by:

• Entering topics
• Linking web searches, RSS, Twitter, Reddit, or even private docs/newsletters
• Combining sources into a single ongoing feed
• The app encourages creativity: imagine a radio station based entirely on your favorite subreddits, or a feed that reads your newsletters and reminds you about calendar events each morning.
• Martin acknowledged that generating audio summaries has unique risks, as voiced by co-hosts and listeners. Huxe incorporates editorial checks—cross-referencing sources, checking for factual consistency, surfacing multiple perspectives, and (soon) incorporating referring links to original content so users can verify key points themselves.
