Understand difficult reading, one passage at a time.
When an article assumes knowledge you do not have, Muse explains the hard parts in plain language, pulls out the facts you need and keeps your notes on your device.

The problem
Dense writing, unfamiliar terms and long arguments make you reread the same paragraph three times.
How Muse helps
Ask Muse to explain a passage simply, define a term in context, or extract the claims and numbers.
The outcome
You keep reading with confidence, and you have notes you can come back to.
A better way to read hard material
Works in the Muse side panel. Open it from the toolbar or with ⌘ + M.
Explain what you just read
Select a passage and choose Explain. Ask for an analogy or an example if it helps.
Extract the essentials
Use Extract, or ask for the claims, numbers, steps or open questions as a list.
Check your understanding
Summarize it back in your own words and ask Muse whether you got it right.
Save it for later
Save the page and your notes in Muse. They stay on your device and join a later question about the same site only when you ask.
Explanations are generated by AI. They are a starting point for understanding, not a substitute for expert advice.

Common questions
How is this different from summarizing?
A summary shortens the whole page. An explanation goes deeper on the specific part you are stuck on.
Where are saved pages and notes kept?
In your browser's extension storage on your device. They are not a cloud account and are removed if you clear extension data or uninstall.
Does it work on research papers?
It works on papers published as webpages with readable text. Some PDF viewers and scanned documents limit what Muse can read.
