Too many feeds to read? PoweReader is an RSS reader with AI built in. It sorts the news into Daily Picks, summarizes any article in one tap, translates foreign articles alongside the original, and reads them aloud. DAILY PICKS Every morning, PoweReader sorts the news from your feeds into a few stories, each with a timeline, the different sources' takes and a short AI verdict. You can also listen to today's picks as a briefing. AI SUMMARY For an article you only want to skim, one tap gives you a summary with the key points in seconds, plus a picture that explains it. A whole list can be summarized into a briefing, with links that open each article. AUDIO SUMMARY When you can't look at the screen, let AI read the summary aloud. Playback starts a few seconds after you tap play.
