Next up: tab overload
Product tour
A calm UI for every reading session.
Each view is intentionally minimal—similar to how Apple showcases product features.
Feature
Summaries you can trust
WeRead runs parallel AI prompts to deliver TLDR bullet points, key ideas, and section briefs—grounded in the page in front of you.
Feature
Navigate long stories
Auto-generated table of contents keeps you oriented. Jump to any heading, preview the section, and keep moving without scrolling aimlessly.
Feature
Notes designed for clarity
Highlight any sentence, capture a note, and it stays pinned to that paragraph. Notes live locally per URL and export to PDF with one click.
Why WeRead
Designed for people who rely on long-form content.
Long articles consume the day
Know the key points without reading every paragraph. Get the high-level view first, then dive deeper only where needed.
Navigation is clumsy
Auto TOC mirrors the structure of the article so you can hop between sections instantly.
Notes get scattered
Capture thoughts inside the page you are reading. Highlights stay attached to the exact quote.
Concepts need clarification
Chat in Article or Deep Dive mode to confirm facts or unpack terminology without opening new tabs.
Features
Everything lives inside a single, quiet sidebar.
Four pillars power the WeRead experience: summaries, navigation, notes, and chat. Each card below mirrors the real product.
AI reading mode
Instant TLDR + navigation
Summaries, key ideas, and section briefs arrive alongside an auto-generated table of contents.
- 3-5 bullet TLDR for every page
- Key points + suggested actions
- Jump links for every heading
- Consistent 3-5 second turnaround
Smart notes system
Anchored highlights
Select text, add your note, and we keep the highlight pinned to that passage on future visits.
- Per-URL local storage
- Clickable highlights sync with the sidebar
- PDF export with quotes + timestamps
- Position tracking that survives reloads
Interactive AI chat
Ask the article anything
Two chat modes cover quick confirmations and deeper explanations without leaving the page.
- Article Mode references on-page content
- Deep Dive Mode explains terminology
- Keeps the last six turns for context
- Grounded, low-temperature answers
Two reading modes
Reader + Notes tabs
Switch between Reader Mode for TLDR + section briefs and Notes Mode when it is time to capture ideas.
- Reader Mode highlights structure
- Notes Mode focuses on annotation
- AI chat is available in both tabs
- Export when you finish the article
