Acciyo - MIT delta v Demo Day 2018 Kresge

Reading the news today is like opening a book at chapter three. The characters have already developed, the narrative is already in motion, and you’re suddenly in the thick of it, not knowing how you got here. At Acciyo, we put your news in context. Our debut product is a browser plugin that appears to the right of your screen like a bookmark sleeve, populating an interactive, zoomable timeline of everything published on that subject. We also automatically detect key people, places, and things mentioned to provide you with a quick Wikipedia summary. In a world where falsified news, 24-hour publishing cycles, and endless volumes of content make it difficult for you to keep up…we’re on a mission to make it easier.
