AI reads and extracts the key content
News-Distiller's AI (powered by Claude from Anthropic) reads the full article and identifies the core narrative: who, what, when, where, and why. It separates the essential facts from supporting detail, background context, and editorial framing — building a structural understanding of what the piece is actually saying.
The article is analyzed for framing and lean
Beyond summarizing content, News-Distiller assesses the political and editorial framing of the article. It uses a high bar — "Center" is the default, and lean is only attributed when there is direct evidence in the text (specific word choices, selective sourcing, omitted perspectives). The goal is accuracy, not sensitivity.
You get a clear, structured summary
News-Distiller returns two views of your analysis:
- Executive Summary — a concise distillation of the article's key points, suitable for a quick read
- Full Report — an in-depth breakdown covering all claims, context, sourcing, and framing in detail
Results stream in real time — you start reading as the AI generates, rather than waiting for the full output. Both summaries can be saved as text files.
