Read deeply with AI.
PatchRead helps you understand articles by filling in context around unfamiliar words and details you may have missed as you read.
In a time when summaries and speed-reading make it easy to rush, PatchRead gives you a moment to slow down and think deeply for yourself.
READ AS USUAL
Start by reading the article or PDF at your own pace.
PatchRead is built around reading for yourself. It does not begin by replacing the article with a summary or giving you all the answers first.
POST-READ PATCHES
As you read, PatchRead looks for important context that can help you understand the text more deeply.
That can include:
• Definitions
• Reasons and evidence
• Conditions and exceptions
• Mechanisms
• Comparisons
• Consequences
These appear as questions, so you can choose what you want to explore.
FILL IN WHAT YOU MISSED
Tap a question and AI provides a concise explanation based on the source article.
PatchRead is designed to fill gaps in understanding without replacing the original text.
You can also tap “View in article” to return to the relevant passage and read it again yourself.
