About ContextNews
ContextNews is a contextual news platform and AI-assisted news aggregator. We pull headlines from configured RSS feeds into topic dashboards (contexts) such as world news, business, technology, and sports. You can follow curated contexts, build a custom keyword context, save articles, and discuss stories in one place. We do not replace publishers: we organize links and context so you can compare coverage and open the original reporting on each outlet's site.
What we are trying to do
Headline feeds move fast and often show the same story many times with little surrounding context. ContextNews exists to give you a calmer workspace: grouped feeds, clearer navigation between related items, and tools to follow a topic without jumping between a dozen bookmarks. Our goal is practical clarity for readers—not to compete with newsrooms on original reporting.
What you will find on the site
Public topic pages and personalized contexts combine items from RSS sources you (or our defaults) enable. You can scan the latest items, open the publisher's article in a new tab, save items for later, and—where the product offers it—use optional AI-assisted summaries or notes that are labeled as such in the interface. Account features, plans, and availability depend on how your deployment is configured.
Our editorial approach
ContextNews is built for readers who want organized coverage without losing primary sources. We combine headlines from many RSS publishers into topic dashboards so you can compare how outlets frame events—without scraping full articles or implying we wrote them. We add navigation, saved reading, discussion where enabled, and clearly labeled optional AI assistance when your deployment provides it. Transparent sourcing, user-controlled contexts, and tools that encourage opening the original article are the editorial layer we provide.
Designed for readers who verify at the source
We expect you to open publishers’ websites for quotes, statistics, and verification. The feed is a map: trends and timelines surface repetition or divergence across sources; comments and reactions are community signals, not journalism. We tune dashboards for freshness, sensible grouping, and respect for declared feed languages, because usable navigation is part of the value alongside the links.
Sources, rights, and responsibility
Headlines, snippets, and links typically come from third-party RSS feeds and the websites that publish them. Copyright in the underlying articles remains with those publishers. ContextNews may display titles, short excerpts where the feed provides them, and links so you can read the full piece in its original context. When in doubt, trust the publisher's version for quotes, numbers, and legal details—and use several sources on important stories.
Privacy, terms, and getting help
