In April 2026, SaySo debuted as a groundbreaking short-form video app designed to deliver reliable news from vetted creators and independent journalists.
Developed by Caliber, the app addresses widespread distrust in social media news feeds plagued by misinformation and AI-generated content on platforms like TikTok and Instagram.
Curated Experience Without Endless Scrolling
SaySo's Daily Digest feature personalizes content based on user-selected topics such as politics, health, and crime, refreshing every 20 hours for a focused viewing experience.
Creators must embed sources in their videos, ensuring transparency and accountability in every clip shared on the platform.
All content undergoes rigorous human-AI moderation in a queue before publishing, preventing problematic material from reaching users.
Founders' Vision and Company Heritage
CEO Ramin Beheshti, formerly chief product officer at Dow Jones, and CTO Dion Bailey lead SaySo, drawing from their expertise in media innovation.
Caliber, formerly The News Movement founded in 2022 and rebranded in 2025, powers SaySo as its flagship product for social short-form journalism.
Launch Details and Global Ambitions
The iOS app launched in the U.S. and Canada with 30 onboarded creators, including notable figures like Nico Agosta and Dr. Victoria.
Future plans include a U.K. rollout this summer, broader market expansion through 2027, and full monetization where most revenue flows directly to creators.
Upcoming community notes will enable crowdsourced fact-checking, further bolstering user trust in an era where only 56% of U.S. adults trust national news media.
By prioritizing quality over quantity, SaySo promises to reshape how younger audiences engage with news, potentially reversing trends of information overload and skepticism.
