Frequently asked questions
What is SwiftRecap?
SwiftRecap is a free weekly email briefing that distills the week's most important AI and tech developments into a five-minute read. Each story gets a one-line TLDR of what happened plus a concrete "why it matters." Every summary is grounded strictly in primary sources.
Who is SwiftRecap for?
Founders, engineers, and product leaders who want to stay current on AI and tech without the doomscroll. If a story doesn't change how you build or decide, it doesn't make the cut.
When does it arrive, and how much does it cost?
The briefing is free and lands every Tuesday. An optional premium tier adds Ask, which answers your questions from the sourced archive, plus member features.
How is SwiftRecap different from other tech newsletters?
It's anti-hype by default. Every claim links to its primary source, we never fabricate statistics or quotes, and we cut launch-week noise. You get signal in five minutes instead of a feed to scroll.
