Most news is loud, biased, or takes too long to sort through. The Plaintext is different. We read hundreds of sources every day using AI, then strip away editorial bias and repetition to give you only the 5 most important stories, summarized in under 5 minutes. Each briefing gives you what happened, why it matters, and where to read more, so you can stay informed without wasting time or falling into narrative traps. If you’re a student building media literacy, a researcher cutting through noise, or a busy professional who needs fast, reliable situational awareness, The Plaintext makes you smarter, faster, and more confident - so you can follow any conversation, spot what really matters, and never feel out of the loop.
