Hi Product Hunt 👋, Patrick here.
Nutgrafe reduces every news article to a single clear paragraph so you can understand what happened in seconds.
I built it because I missed when opening a feed actually helped me understand what was going on. Around 2015, Twitter often felt like a real-time news feed. You could scan quickly, see what mattered, and click through to read the full article if you wanted more.
Over time that feeling got buried under reactions, outrage, and endless conversation. I wanted to bring back something closer to that earlier experience.
Instead of replacing reporting, Nutgrafe is designed to send readers back to the original sources. Every summary links directly to the full article so you can dig deeper if you want.
The web version launched earlier this year and the feedback helped shape a lot of what you see today. Since then quite a bit has changed:
• Nutgrafe is now available on iPhone and iPad
• The service is now completely free
• The source list has expanded across major outlets and independent blogs
• We added daily email briefings
• You can follow topics and publications you care about
• Summaries include key points and a short “why it matters”
The goal is simple: help you get oriented, feel caught up, and move on.
Happy to answer questions and hear what you think.

Quick FAQ
How does Nutgrafe generate summaries?
Summaries are anchored to the article’s core facts and structure, focusing on what happened, what changed, and why it matters. If the system doesn’t have enough context to do that cleanly, it won’t generate a summary.
Do you republish articles or bypass paywalls?
No. Nutgrafe generates original summaries using content publishers make publicly available for distribution (typically their RSS/XML feeds). We don’t republish articles, bypass paywalls, or reconstruct full pieces. Every post links directly to the original source.
How are sources chosen?
Right now the focus is on established outlets and widely read publications, alongside a growing set of independent blogs. The source list is expanding carefully over time.
Is there human review involved?
There’s no human in the loop today, but summaries are tightly constrained around what happened and why it matters. If the model lacks context, it simply won’t generate a summary.
Is Nutgrafe personalized?
Not in the algorithmic sense. The intent is orientation first rather than personalization.
What I like about this is what it doesn't do. No algorithm deciding what's important for me, no personalization rabbit hole, no engagement tricks. Just the story, short, with a link to the source. I've been reading news through Twitter and aggregators for years and honestly forgot what it feels like to just scan headlines and move on with my day. The 400-character constraint is smart too - forces clarity instead of rewording the whole article. This might actually fix my morning doomscroll.
This takes me back to when feeds actually helped you stay informed instead of just doom scrolling. Love the constraint of 400 characters per summary, it forces real clarity. The fact that it links back to the original source instead of trying to replace it shows a lot of respect for journalism. Are you planning to add topic based daily digests or is it purely a feed experience?
Impressive. I love tools that get straight to the point without missing the key details. I read multiple articles every day, and this would save a ton of time while still showing the full story. I especially like how each summary makes it clear why it matters. Congrats on the launch @colooch!
