Show HN: An AI tool that filters high-quality info from the noise

AI is bombing us—bombing our attention.

The explosion of generative AI has unleashed an unprecedented wave of content creation. Polishing, drafting, illustrating, one-click cross-platform publishing… You’ve probably seen a hundred tools like these already. The result? AI-generated content is flooding social media—and this trend is now irreversible.

What does this mean?

Not a flourishing of content, but a collapse of quality. Mediocre, low-value content—whether AI- or human-generated—is flooding the information ocean. And no matter how advanced AI gets, it can’t change one harsh reality:

In the noise of an information explosion, truly high-quality content is rapidly shrinking in proportion.

And we, as consumers of information, still only get a meager 24 hours in a day.

We spend the same time, but get less and less value.

You’ve heard the famous phrase — Attention is all you need.

No

Attention is all THEY need

Attention is all WE HAVE

So what do we do? We fight back.

Clearly, we need a system—a mechanism—to shield us from the overwhelming noise. And this mechanism must have a few essential abilities:

- Rapidly read and comprehend massive volumes of information - Accurately identify what’s important and high quality - Discover and build meaningful connections across information - Deeply process and restructure key insights into customized, actionable formats

Sounds like something you could throw 20 interns at—

But a faster, smarter, more scalable solution is obviously AI.

AI is a natural-born information-processing engine:

- It digests enormous data volumes in seconds - It scores and ranks key content with surgical precision - Hidden relationships across information? To AI, it’s just a matter of vector space distances - And yes—people will use AI to generate noise (you can’t stop that). So we’ll use AI to build the shield.

You might ask: isn’t AI-processed information just secondhand content?

That depends entirely on how you use it:

- If used for filtering: AI helps surface the best first-hand sources, cutting through the clutter - If used for summarizing or synthesis: its unique lens and processing methods often generate brand-new insights—valuable perspectives humans might never notice

Which leads us to what I’m building:

An AI-powered Information Intelligence Layer.

Its job:

- Autonomously gather and absorb information - Filter and rank based on real value - Distribute it efficiently and personally

The goal: Deliver only the most essential, most relevant information to you each day—so you can spend your time on what really matters.

Of course, before building a full-scale intelligent platform, I started with a focused MVP for the crypto and finance domain—and I’ve open-sourced the whole thing:

https://github.com/cctv2206/mimir-opensource

- It continuously scrapes and digests all crypto/finance data you can imagine - It only pushes the most urgent, most critical updates, straight to the point

I call it Mimir—yes, that wise head hanging from Kratos’ belt.

I welcome your thoughts and suggestions.

In this war against the flood of noise, your support matters.
