Background

New York Post Media Group launched Hamilton on 11 August 2026, a free reader-facing AI interface built on Google's Gemini, across the New York Post and California Post apps. The company said Hamilton combines "conversational search, personalized news digests, tailored recommendations and intelligent notifications into a single reader experience".

New York Post Media Group is the News Corp-owned publisher of The New York Post and The California Post apps.

Building its own reader-facing AI interface is an attempt to keep a reader's question, and the behaviour it reveals, inside the publisher's own app rather than losing it to a general AI assistant that can summarise the same journalism for free.
