<p>The mushroom characters are super adorable! Were they AI-generated, or designed by an illustrator?</p>

<p>this is good for micro learning, I would like to know how do you profile user or are you sending same news to everyone. and what is the frequency and how do you choose the frequency ?</p>

<p>Congrats! How deep does the personalization go? Can I control what topics I see, or does it learn on its own over time?</p>
