The internet and AI have unlocked endless information on almost any subject. But wading through it to figure out what happened is getting harder and harder.
CONTXT is built to do the research so you don't have to. It gives you the current status of a story, with the sources, quotes, and receipts to back it up. You can skim quickly to get the gist or dig deeper and see for yourself. Either way, your time is spent absorbing the information that matters, not searching for it.
CONTXT uses a curated set of sources and checks what it finds for relevance and reliability. Rather than simply summarizing the news, CONTXT looks for the original material behind a story: press releases, court documents, social posts, government websites, public statements, and other primary sources. It pulls out the key quotes, flags what is still unresolved, and explains the relevant perspectives when they differ.
Every piece of information is sourced, so you know where it came from. The brief is designed to get you to the important information quickly, and the format stays consistent so you know what to expect.

Our founder launched Footnotes for TikTok and saw firsthand how difficult it can be for people on social media to understand what is true, what is missing, and how a new piece of information fits into the larger story.
Footnotes and X's Community Notes are designed to add context or corrections to individual posts. CONTXT approaches the problem differently. It gives you a picture of what is known right now, what is still unresolved, and where the people involved disagree. It doesn't just try to correct a claim. It gives you the information that may be missing around it.
That is especially useful in a fast-moving news cycle, when information is incomplete and the story can change as new evidence emerges.
CONTXT was built to bring some calm to a sea of chaotic and fragmented information. You can ground yourself in what's known, understand what isn't, and see the evidence for yourself.
