News
Every morning we pick the AI stories that actually touch your job, your bills and your life, and skip the noise. Each one answers four questions: what happened, why you should care, what’s real and what’s noise, and what to watch.
New every morning · Tuesday 3 November
AI is changing your work, your money and your news feed. Here’s what happened, in the time you have.
Orjin turns the day’s most important AI stories into short pieces you can read in three minutes or listen to on the way. And when one story is bigger than a headline, it becomes a short documentary title in three key ideas.

Big AI topics in three key ideas
Your Money
One screen, every Big Mac
One shared screen may be setting your burger price
After this you'll know how one shared pricing tool is accused of nudging every McDonald's toward the same price, why landlords were sued over the same trick, and why the whole case turns on where an owner's sales data goes once it leaves her till.
Your Money
Who priced your Big Mac?
A lawsuit says software fixed your Big Mac price
After this you'll know how one shared pricing tool could stop McDonald's owners competing with each other, why American courts now treat that as possible price-fixing, and what nobody has proved yet.
Your Job
You check. The machine makes.
Fortnite's makers just became checkers. Your job could too.
After this you'll know exactly what Epic's "no more hand-written code" order changes in a coder's or artist's week, what nobody at Epic has said yet, and one ten-minute exercise to find the half of your job that memo is aimed at.
AI
Made by AI, out in the open
Every Orjin piece is written and voiced by AI from the reporting listed under it, then checked by an editor before it goes out. We name every source, say plainly when something isn’t proven, and never dress advice up as news.
Questions
Good to know
Is Orjin free?
Yes, during early access. Sign in with the access PIN you were given. If you don’t have one yet, write to support@orjin.co.
Where do the stories come from?
From the reporting of established news outlets, research and official sources, which we list under every piece so you can read the original. We collect them every morning and rank them by how much they matter to ordinary people, not by how loud they are.
Who writes it?
An AI writer working to a strict house style, checked by an AI critic and a human editor. It can still get things wrong, so the sources are always one tap away, and we correct pieces when we find a mistake.
Do I need an app?
No. Orjin works in your browser on phone and desktop. Your listening is saved on your device so you can pick up where you left off.
Do you track me or show ads?
No ads, no analytics, no trackers. Read the short privacy note.
