About
Contextify turns any highlight on the web into a quick, reliable explanation. It expands your selection to the full sentence, uses the page title & domain to infer meaning, and (when relevant) brings in very recent news context. Answers are short, skimmable, and structured with “What it is / Why it matters / Key context”. Works across finance, tech, policy, history, and more.
