AI Radar monitors Czech and international sources every day, looking for changes that truly deserve attention.
The result is a quick overview of what has actually changed in the AI world, rather than another stream of articles.
Use the CS/EN switch to read the same Radar in Czech or English. English content is published after its translation has been checked, so new and older items may appear later.
Each row represents one event — not one article. At a glance, you can see its significance, credibility and main point.
Illustrative example, not a current news item.
Agent mode is available to all paying users
Until now, the mode was available only on the highest plan; it is now available on all paid tiers without a waitlist.
The detail page contains a fuller summary, its significance and original sources. Practical impact appears in the detail and the For individuals and For businesses views. An AI Flash item reaches the main selection only after it has been expanded and meets the publication rules.
We first summarize each event in the same way for everyone. Based on those same facts, we then explain what the change means for your own use and what it could mean for how a company operates.
Today’s briefing is the same for everyone. Pages For individuals and For businesses can be found in the main navigation — they select only events relevant to the given use case.
