# Introduction

> Create personalized, AI-powered newsletters from the content sources you care about

## What is Reduce?

Reduce is a web application that lets you create personalized, AI-powered newsletters by aggregating content from multiple platforms and filtering it through custom prompts.

Instead of manually checking YouTube, Reddit, X, and other platforms every day, Reduce delivers a curated digest of exactly what you care about — on your schedule.
