The new site sorts AI writers on Medium by topic and pairs the directory with short guides on how to judge a writer before following.
United States, 17th Oct 2026 — BestAINews has launched as a directory of AI writers on Medium, built for readers who want to follow AI news through the people who write about it in depth. The site opens with a featured list of authors, groups more writers by topic, and links each card to the author’s own Medium page.
AI news no longer comes from a handful of outlets. It is spread across X threads, YouTube channels, podcasts, LinkedIn posts and long-form essays, and much of it comes from individual creators. Short posts are easy to scan; longer analysis is harder to find. For readers who want that depth, the challenge is deciding whose writing to follow, and whether a writer is still publishing at all.
Why Medium, and how the directory is organized
BestAINews starts from that wider picture. Its research notes look at where AI creators publish and which subjects draw the most attention, from machine-learning engineering to generative AI.
The directory then focuses on Medium, a natural home for long-form AI writing. Beyond the featured list, writers are sorted into sections such as GEO and AI visibility; product, growth, pricing and GTM; and enterprise agents and builders.
Readers who want to judge an author for themselves can use the site’s guides on reading creator metrics, or a five-point check that asks whether a profile belongs to a person or a publication, when it last posted, and whether its topic stays consistent.
Two featured writers, two kinds of AI writing
Among the featured authors, Ken follows AI products and industry moves, the kind of commentary readers look for when a new model or feature ships. A recent essay, An AI Left a Note for Its Next Self, examines why handoff notes between AI agents need traceable records.
Grace takes a more hands-on angle, writing guides for everyday users choosing AI tools. One example is Open-Source AI Video Generators: How to Compare Models, Weights, Licenses, and Hardware. Both sit alongside the topic sections on the BestAINews homepage, where readers can browse every author card.
The site is built for readers who follow AI news every day, content and marketing teams looking for topic ideas and industry viewpoints, and researchers and developers tracking a specific area of AI.
“AI news isn’t in short supply. Attention is,” said james Founder, BestAINews. “Most readers don’t need another feed. They need a clear picture of who is writing about AI, and a quick way to judge a writer for themselves. We built BestAINews as that starting point, and we leave the final call to the reader.”
