Your morning,
read to you.
A morning radio show with an audience of exactly one. Two hosts talk you through what landed in your inbox overnight, what’s on your calendar today, and the news you actually follow — made fresh every morning, about you, for nobody else.
This is what a Tuesday sounds like
Not a text-to-speech robot reading a list. A briefing you listen to has different rules than a feed you scroll — one host carries the facts, the other pushes back, asks the obvious question, connects it to yesterday.
Three sources, one show, every morning
what landed overnight, and what of it actually matters
today, and the thing you forgot is tomorrow
the beats you follow — not a trending page
It gets sharper every day
Orin builds context over time. It learns which newsletter you never care about, which project the recurring Thursday call belongs to, which topics deserve thirty seconds instead of five. The tenth briefing should know you better than the first — that’s the entire bet.
It grew past the briefing
By the time it paused, one daily briefing had become a personal podcast platform — multiple shows, each with its own cover art and show notes, an episode feed, and one-off episodes you can ask for on demand.
The questions you open your phone for
- What changed while you were asleep?
- What do I need to have read before 9?
- What did I say I would do yesterday?
- What is this meeting actually about?
The product is the briefing, not you
Your inbox and calendar are the most personal data you have. Orin has no ad model and sells no data. That constraint shapes the architecture, not just the privacy policy.
What it is built on
Orin started as Receipt AI — summaries printed on thermal receipt paper at 7 a.m. The printer worked. The idea deserved audio. The longer write-up covers how it got here.
Before you leave an address
What is Orin?
A personal podcast platform. Every morning it generates an audio briefing from your inbox, calendar and the news you follow, presented by two AI hosts in conversation. It grew from a single daily briefing into multiple shows with cover art, show notes, an episode feed, and one-off episodes on demand.
Is Orin available?
Not yet. The pipeline works end to end — briefings generate, shows stream, and both apps play them — but it never launched past its waitlist, and development has been paused since July 2026. The waitlist is how you hear when it starts again.
How does Orin handle private data?
Your inbox and calendar are the most personal data you have. Orin has no ad model and sells no data — the product is the briefing, not the listener. No interest profiles, no public training on private mail.
What is Orin built on?
A Rust streaming core with Bun and TypeScript services around it, and native apps on both platforms — SwiftUI on iOS and Kotlin on Android, at feature parity.
Hear when it wakes up
The whole pipeline works end to end. It never launched past the waitlist, and other projects took the front burner in August 2026. Leave an address and you’ll get one email when that changes.
