Feed URL: https://www.theverge.com/rss/index.xml
Copy the URL above and paste it into any RSS reader, or connect it directly to Daigest below.
Note on the free feed: The Verge's free RSS delivers excerpts only (2–3 paragraphs). Full articles require a $7/month subscription. The feed is still useful for headlines and summaries — you'll click through only for pieces that matter.
What The Verge Covers
The Verge covers consumer tech through a cultural and policy lens. Their editorial approach is distinctly opinionated. They don't just report what happened; they argue about what it means. Editor-in-chief Nilay Patel has pushed back publicly against AI companies, platform monopolies, and changes to the open web in ways most tech publications don't.
What you'll get from the feed:
- Consumer hardware reviews (phones, laptops, EVs, gadgets)
- AI policy and company news (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google)
- Big tech moves: platform changes, antitrust, executive shifts
- Original reporting on tech culture and media
Posting frequency: 30–50 articles per day. Includes news, reviews, and opinion pieces.
Best for: Anyone who wants tech news with context and perspective, not just announcements.
How to Use The Verge with Daigest
The Verge's volume can be overwhelming if you try to read everything. Most people follow The Verge for 2–3 specific areas. Daigest lets you set up filters so the feed does exactly that.
Option 1: AI and Platform News Only
"Summarize only articles about AI companies, AI policy, or major platform changes. Skip hardware reviews and opinion pieces."
Option 2: Weekly Tech Digest
Set Daigest to summarize once a week instead of daily:
"Every Friday at 9 AM, give me the 5 most important tech stories from The Verge this week. Focus on stories with lasting impact, not one-day news cycles."
Option 3: Combine with Other Sources
The Verge pairs well with Hacker News (for community reaction) and TechCrunch (for startup news). Connect all three and ask for a unified briefing:
"Summarize the biggest tech news across all sources this week. Group by topic."
Tip: Filtering Excerpt-Only Feeds
Since The Verge's free RSS only shows excerpts, ask Daigest to summarize based on the title and excerpt — it can still surface patterns and flag important stories even without full article text.
