At a glance
AI Chat Daily is an independent, reader-supported newsroom covering the AI industry. Founded in 2023, the publication produces daily reporting across nine beats, a free weekday newsletter called AI Chat Daily, and the AI Chat podcast network — four shows collectively downloaded millions of times across Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and the major podcast apps.
Our audience is practitioner-heavy: founders, engineers, researchers, operators, and creatives using AI in their work. We report in plain language, link to primary sources, and disclose where AI shows up in our own newsroom.
The show network
- AI Chat — a near-daily rundown of the biggest AI news, hosted by Jaeden Schafer. The flagship show in the network.
- AI Hustle — founders, operators, and case studies of people using AI to build and run businesses.
- AI Applied — hands-on episodes on tools, workflows, and real-world implementations.
- AI in Faith — interviews and essays at the intersection of AI and religion, ministry, and theology.
