💨 Abstract
Smashing, an AI-powered news aggregation app, is shutting down due to scaling issues and inability to become a sustainable product. Launched last June by GoodReads' founder Otis Chandler, Smashing aimed to curate news, articles, podcasts, and social media posts. The app had AI-powered summaries and a bot for answering questions, but failed to achieve rapid growth.
