Curio Labs

Curio Labs is a developer of an audio platform and application that allows users to listen to stories from notable and trusted journalistic outlets. The company's platform personalizes curated articles based on users' interests from various publications and narrated by professional narrators. Curio Labs offers the app for both iOS and Android devices.

Curio Labs was founded in 2016 by Govind Balakrishnan and Srikant Chakravarti and is headquartered in London.

The Curio Labs platform offers users a curated library of journalism translated into and presented as audio, with a daily selection of news and analysis. This includes more than fifty publications curated on the app, including the likes of the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, and the Financial Times. The articles are narrated by professional voice actors, and listeners can browse by new stories, most played, categories, and publications or listen to curated playlists. Articles offered by Curio Labs are also chosen by a team of editors rather than selected by AI.

Curio Labs offers enterprises a corporate volume discount so employees can access the platform at a discount. It can be integrated into workspaces.

Curio Labs also offers Curio AI, which creates bespoke audio episodes for users based on their interests. The custom-made audio is developed using the platform's history of content to train its AI model, and episodes are based on fact-checked content to avoid the possibility of "hallucinations."
