Built for the way stories actually come together

Find the Line You Need

Summaries for First-Pass Triage
Before you read every line, skim the summary for claims, arguments, and angles to investigate.
Ask Targeted Follow-Up Questions
Ask things like "What did the mayor say about the budget?" and get the relevant answer without rereading the whole transcript.
