Description of Service

BostonNewsAI is a news aggregation platform that uses artificial intelligence to curate, summarize, and present news from publicly available Boston-area news sources. We also provide weather information for the Boston area.

• We do not produce original news reporting.
• All news summaries are AI-generated original text and link back to the original source article.
• We do not host or republish full articles from any news outlet.
