Welcome.AI for AI professionals
Who Plus is for, the problem it solves, how it helps, and what's free vs Plus — the core doc for individuals keeping up with AI.
Welcome.AI Plus is for people whose work depends on knowing what is happening in AI — without spending an hour a day reading to stay current. The base experience is free; Plus removes the limits and adds AI briefings, email digests, and summaries written in your voice. This is the "is this for me, and what do I get" page; for the mission behind it, start with what is Welcome.AI.
At a glance
- Who it's for: operators, founders, product managers, engineers, investors, and consultants who need to keep up with AI as part of the job.
- The problem: AI moves faster than anyone can read — 100+ articles a day across dozens of sources — and generic newsletters don't match what you actually work on.
- How it helps: follow the companies and topics you care about, and Welcome.AI turns them into a relevance-first feed, on-demand AI briefings, and a recurring digest in your chosen voice.
- Free covers up to 5 company and 3 category follows, the feed, and bookmarks. Plus removes the caps and unlocks Catch Me Up, email digests, and briefing styles.
- Pricing: $5/mo or $50/yr (about $4.17/mo, ~17% off). No free trial; cancel anytime.
Who this is for
You work in or near AI, and staying current is part of the role — not a hobby you get to when there's time. You might be a founder tracking competitors and the models you build on, a product manager watching what's newly possible, an engineer following releases, an operator briefing a leadership team, or an investor mapping a category. What you have in common: the cost of being a week behind is real, and the time to prevent it is scarce.
If you already follow AI news by juggling newsletters, X, and a pile of open tabs, this is built to replace that with one place tuned to your work.
The problem: the firehose
AI reinvents itself on a weekly cadence — new models, launches, benchmarks, and shifts in who leads a category. Keeping up by reading everything doesn't scale: there are 100+ articles a day across 20+ sources, most of them irrelevant to you on any given day.
The usual fixes fall short. General AI newsletters are one-size-fits-all, so you skim past most of them. Social feeds are noisy and optimized for engagement, not coverage. And doing it yourself means more tabs, more time, and a nagging sense you still missed the thing that mattered to your work.
How Welcome.AI Plus helps
The model is simple: you follow, we read everything, you stay current your way. Each piece maps to a real feature.
Follow what matters
Follow the AI companies and topics tied to your work, and your feed is built from them. Free includes up to 5 company and 3 category follows; Plus removes both caps. See follow companies and categories.
A relevance-first feed
Instead of a raw reverse-chronological river, your feed surfaces recent content from the companies you follow and the top AI companies first, then the rest. One place, most-relevant-to-you at the top. See your personalized feed.
Catch Me Up — a briefing on demand
One tap turns the last 7, 14, or 30 days of activity from your follows into a written AI briefing, so you can get current in a couple of minutes before a meeting. Catch Me Up is a Plus feature; free accounts see a locked preview of it. See Catch Me Up briefings.
A digest in your inbox
Plus can email you a recurring digest — weekly, twice a week, or every weekday — built only from your follows, so the firehose arrives pre-filtered. See email digests.
In your voice
Both Catch Me Up and your digest can be written in the style that fits how you think: The Essentials, Strategy & Markets (executive), Deep Technical, Opportunities & Threats (founder), User Impact & Trends (product), or your own custom instruction. See briefing styles.
Save and track
Bookmark anything to return to later on any plan. On Plus, your reading history is surfaced automatically, and briefings avoid repeating what you've already read. See reading history and bookmarks.
