EnglishHow often is AI Weekly updated and how can I subscribe?
Updated
AI Weekly updates its news feed throughout the day and publishes a numbered briefing issue on a regular cadence — the site's archive shows 641 issues to date, with issue #533 dated September 22–28, 2026. You can subscribe to the briefing by email; the site describes it as "The AI briefing 54,000+ professionals read" and labels it "Free, 3x" (the truncated text suggests a three-times-per-week send, though the page evidence doesn't complete that phrase). The site also lists a "subscribe" pricing signal, meaning a subscription path exists, but no price or payment details are shown in the available page evidence.
What "updated" means on aiweekly.co
The site runs two different update cycles, and it helps to keep them separate:
| Layer | Cadence | What it contains |
|---|---|---|
| Live news feed | Throughout the day | Ranked AI stories with source links and timestamps (e.g., "7h ago," "2h ago") |
| Weekly briefing issue | Weekly, numbered | A themed editorial issue, e.g., #533 on Meta's AI phone agent |
| Index / attention dashboard | Weekly | Story-volume movers like Jobs ▲ +113%, NVIDIA ▼ -40% |
The page evidence shows a "Live Alerts" block with individual stories stamped "7h ago" and "2h ago," plus an overall "Updated 2h ago" marker and a "7810 stories tracked" counter. That confirms the feed is refreshed continuously rather than once a week. The briefing itself is the slower layer: issues are numbered sequentially and the latest shown is #533, covering September 22–28, 2026.
How to subscribe
The site exposes a subscribe path, but the page evidence doesn't include the form fields, confirmation flow, or any pricing page. Based on what's documented:
- Look for the subscribe call-to-action tied to the line "The AI briefing 54,000+ professionals read."
- Enter your email to receive the briefing.
- Expect the send to follow the briefing cadence (the "3x" label points to roughly three emails per week), not the live feed's all-day rhythm.
If you only want the ranked headlines, the live feed and the "All live stories" link are readable without subscribing. If you want the editorial issue — the ranked-and-explained format — that's what the subscription delivers.
What you get in each issue
Each numbered issue leads with a single ranked story and a plain-English explanation. Issue #533's framing is representative: the week's theme wasn't that agents got more capable, but that their "hidden handoffs became visible" — automated calls reaching contractors, prompts reaching reviewers, monitors catching agents before people did. The issue closes by pointing to the AI Weekly Who's Who census and a practical question about who knows when an agent crosses a boundary.
Previous issues follow the same pattern, e.g. #531 "AI labs shipped agents before agreeing how to report failures" and #530 "Why AI's leaders are asking to slow down."
Common points of confusion
- Feed vs. briefing. Seeing "Updated 2h ago" doesn't mean a new numbered issue shipped — that's the live feed. New issues arrive on the weekly cadence.
- Free vs. paid. The page calls the briefing free and shows a "subscribe" signal, but no pricing page or payment platform appears in the evidence. Don't assume a paid tier exists, and don't assume everything behind subscribe is free either — the evidence only supports "free" for the briefing as described.
- Archive depth. "All 641 issues" is the full back catalog, so you can read past themes without subscribing.
Who this fits
Subscribe if you want one ranked, explained digest a few times a week and value the editorial ranking over raw volume. Skip the subscription and just use the live feed if you need same-day headlines and source links, or if you're tracking a specific entity through the weekly Index movers.
