Turn messy web pages into clean notes — no ads, no clutter, just the content you need.

Multi-Source Research

• Searches academic platforms (arXiv, Google Scholar), news sites, social media (Twitter/Weibo trends), and general web search at once
• Removes duplicate information and merges similar content to give you the unique insights
• Rates sources by credibility (official sources rated highest, social media lowest) so you know what to trust
• Organizes findings into a structured report with sections for academic references, news coverage, and social sentiment
• Highlights questionable information and notes when sources conflict

Defuddle

• Removes ads, navigation, and clutter from any web page
• Extracts clean article text in a note-friendly format
• Pulls out key metadata like title, description, and domain
• Saves cleaned content to files for later reference
