About

Built for people who need to know what changed.

Cerna is a continuous AI intelligence platform that monitors any topic across the open web and delivers structured findings the moment something changes.

What Cerna does

Tell Cerna what you care about — a company, a regulator, a market, a person, a city, a technology. It scans news, regulatory filings, research papers, social platforms, and the open web on a continuous schedule. It classifies every finding by what it actually is: a verified action, a directional insight, or a softer signal. You get a clean, structured stream, not a feed you have to forage.

Why we built it

We kept catching ourselves doing the same thing every morning: refreshing news sites, checking Twitter, skimming Slack, all to find out whether anything we already cared about had moved. The work wasn’t reading — the work was the checking.

Stop checking, start receiving. That’s the entire idea. Cerna runs your watchers in the background and only surfaces what crosses the threshold you set. The behavior we’re trying to replace is the compulsive refresh.
