What Converse is

Converse is an AI-powered reading companion for web articles, PDFs, and YouTube videos. It combines saving, summarizing, and chat tools in one place so readers can work through source material without switching between separate apps.

The product centers on a side-by-side reading workflow: you keep the original content available while Converse generates summaries, key takeaways, and answers to questions from that material. It also stores saved items in a library, supports collections, and lets users share summaries and conversations when the content can be shared legally.

Features

Save content to a library

Save web articles, PDFs, and YouTube videos into a personal library for later review.

AI summaries and takeaways

Generate short TLDRs, detailed summaries, and key takeaways to speed up first-pass reading.

Document chat with citations

Ask questions about saved content and get cited answers grounded in the source material.

Library collections

Organize saved items into collections for easier browsing and retrieval.

Social sharing

Share saved articles and interactions with friends or your social network, with public content available for collaboration.

Plan-based access

The pricing page shows tiered plans from free to paid options, including monthly, annual, and lifetime choices.

Use Cases

  • Skim long web articles

    Save an article, read the TLDR first, and open the detailed summary when you need the full context without reading every section immediately.

  • Review documents and PDFs

    Upload a PDF, ask follow-up questions in chat, and use cited answers to review a paper, report, or document more efficiently.

  • Capture video takeaways

    Use the YouTube transcript support to extract the main ideas from a video without rewatching the full recording.

  • Organize reading research

    Group related saved items into collections so you can keep research on the same topic organized over time.

  • Collaborate on shared reading

    Share summaries and chat exchanges with friends when you want another person to inspect the same source material or continue the discussion.
