The AI Tea
AI news, quickly brewed.
Start here
Three calm, source-backed AI updates a day, plus plain-English explainers for the ideas that keep coming up.
Start with the newest briefings on the homepage. Each one is built to answer three questions quickly: what changed, why it matters, and what to watch next. You should be able to understand the point before opening the full article.
Topic desks group updates by reader need: tools you might use, agents that change workflows, research worth translating, safety signals, policy changes, and major AI news. Use them when you want depth without the full feed.
Every public news briefing shows The AI Tea posted date, the original source date, source age, and source links. For news posts, the main source must be recent enough to pass the 14-day freshness rule.
If a post mentions agents, benchmarks, model releases, RAG, open-weight models, or evaluation, the glossary gives you the short version in plain English and links back to related topic desks.
The AI Tea is not trying to make every AI update feel urgent. Treat each briefing as a triage card: useful now, worth watching, or safe to ignore until there is stronger evidence.
Use the newsletter if you want the site to come to you. Daily and weekly preferences are designed for different attention budgets, and preference updates are confirmed by email.
