How is Lumis different from ChatGPT (Research Mode)?

Lumis synthesizes multiple AI/tech research sources (Hacker News, arXiv, The Batch, Latent Space) into a single daily briefing delivered to your inbox. ChatGPT (Research Mode) focuses on OpenAI's conversational AI as a research tool. Lumis works passively — you receive your briefing each morning — while ChatGPT (Research Mode) requires more active engagement.

What does Lumis cost?

Founding members lock in at $9/mo — a fraction of most comparable services. That's 499 of the first 500 founding spots remaining before pricing increases.

Does Lumis cover the same sources as ChatGPT (Research Mode)?

Lumis synthesizes Hacker News, arXiv cs.AI, deeplearning.ai (The Batch), and Latent Space — the original research signals, not newsletter summaries of them. If ChatGPT (Research Mode) covers these sources, Lumis brings them together into one ranked, AI-synthesized briefing.

If you currently use ChatGPT (Research Mode)

What changes with Lumis: Lumis delivers a daily synthesized briefing — ranked insights from HN, arXiv, The Batch, Latent Space — passively, to your inbox. No prompting required.

What ChatGPT (Research Mode) does better: ChatGPT with browsing or research mode can investigate topics deeply via conversation. Powerful for directed research, but requires active prompting.

Comparison searches are the warmest intent on the web — you're mid-evaluation, not browsing casually. Lumis is built for the researcher who wants the signal without the overhead. Lock the founding price before the first 500 spots fill.
