  • Good content bad narrating

    The human researched content is great but the AI voices can be sloppy. The woman once said “Saturn’s wings” instead of Saturn’s rings.

    Fix that and I think it’ll be a better product in the end.

    How can this possibly be for bedtime? A loud, obnoxious ad comes on every couple minutes. It functions better as alarm clock than a cozy sleep aide.
