About

co-reader — your paragraph-level reading companion

Stop skimming. Start understanding. co-reader analyzes any article and gives you a synchronized reading guide in a side panel — one-sentence summaries for every paragraph, key phrase highlights, and cross-references between related sections.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Open any article and click the co-reader icon
2. Click "Start" to analyze the page
3. Summaries appear in the side panel as chunks are processed
4. Click a summary to jump to that paragraph — key phrases light up automatically
5. Click a paragraph in the article to sync the panel back
6. Cross-reference links connect related paragraphs

FEATURES
• One-sentence summaries for every paragraph
• Key phrase highlighting directly on the article
• Cross-references between related paragraphs
• Synchronized scrolling — article and panel stay in sync
• Chunked processing with live progress bar
• Works on any article, blog post, or long-form content
