ReadFaster and Tutor

Read the paper, not around it.

An agent summarises every page beside the page itself, and a tutor works on the page with you.

A page of the paper on the left and ReadFaster’s plain summary cards for each page on the right, one card showing the sentences it came from.

Every summary shows its source.

Open Source evidence under any card to read the sentences the summary rests on.

A ReadFaster summary card with Source evidence open, quoting the two passages it rests on, beside the same page of the paper.

Set the depth. Mark the page.

In the Mac app, choose skim, standard or deep, then highlight, draw and write on the page. Marks save as you go and export with the file.

Tutor

A tutor that works on your page.

Tutor answering beside the paper, with a note it pinned on the page next to the reader’s highlight and circle, and a link back to the source page.

Pick up where you left off.

In the Mac app, say what you want to learn and Tutor keeps it in Current focus, a private note in Memory you can edit.
