Everything Quixplain does, from the page you're reading to the game you play with it.

Select text and click the Q. Open the side panel to chat about the page. Keep what matters in your library, then turn it into a document, a quiz, a live game or a trail through the woods.

Select anything. Get what it means, here.

Click the Q next to any selection for an explanation that fits the page. Hold it for the quick-action bar, with the tools you choose.

Quixplain explaining “the yield curve inverted” in a news articleThe quick-action bar next to a selected price
  • Explain

    The meaning in context: the sense the page intends, slang and in-jokes included.

    “the yield curve inverted” → what it is, and why the article links it to a recession.

  • Translate

    Into your language, with idioms rendered as a native would say them.

    „Tomaten auf den Augen haben“ → “to be blind to the obvious”.

  • Fact-checkPro

    A verdict with sources you can open.

    “The Great Wall is visible from space” → Inaccurate, with NASA as a source.

  • Convert

    Prices, units, sizes and times in your currency and system. Shows up only when there's something to convert.

    “¥18,500 per night” → about €115.

  • Map

    Select an address and see it on a map, with directions.

  • ReviewsPlus

    What people say about a hotel, place, product, book or app, with ratings per source.

  • Find better pricePlus

    The same product in other shops, with prices checked on each shop's own page.

  • Ask and comparePlus

    Your own question about the selection, or how it compares with something else.

  • Deep researchPro

    A passage or a whole page researched across the web, written up as a sourced report in your library.

Chat· In your browser

Chat about the page you're on.

Open the side panel and ask. Summaries, translations and fact-checks join the same conversation, so follow-up questions know what came before.

The side panel with a summary and a follow-up question answered with web search
  • Follow-up questionsPlus

    The conversation remembers earlier answers, and says when the page doesn't cover something.

    Summarize, then “What does a ticket usually cost?”

  • Boost with web searchPlus

    Page, Search or Deep: let the answer reach beyond the page, with sources.

  • Whole-page actions

    Summarize, translate, fact-check or research the page in one click, and save the answer to your library.

Messages· In your browser

Answer email and chats with confidence.

In Gmail and Outlook, check an email before you trust it. In Slack, Discord, Teams and WhatsApp, get the thread in plain words. Then let Quixplain draft your reply.

Prepare answer drafting a reply to a Slack threadCheck message flagging a parcel scam
  • Check this email

    Looks fine, Be careful or Likely scam, with the reasons: sender, links and wording.

  • Prepare answer

    A polite, specific reply in the conversation's language, signed with your name. Steer it with a few words, then insert it. It never sends for you.

    “yes, but only 15 minutes” → a reply that says so, kindly.

  • Follows the thread

    Reads the conversation on screen and knows which messages are yours.

Read and listen· In your browser

Read the article, not the page around it.

Reader view strips menus, ads and players and lets you set the size, font and colours. Or sit back and listen.

Reader view showing an article in a clean layout
  • Reader view

    Serif or sans, light, sepia or dark, wider or narrower, images on or off.

  • Read aloud

    The page or a summary, in your language or the page's, with your browser's own voices.

  • Outline

    The page's headings as a table of contents. Click to jump.

  • Links

    Every link in your selection or on the page, ready to copy as a list or Markdown.

Video· In your browser

Watch less, get more out of videos.

On YouTube, Quixplain reads the video's transcript, so you can summarise it, chat about it or fact-check it, and keep it in your library.

The side panel summarising a YouTube video from its transcript, with key moments by timestamp
  • Video summaryPlus

    What is said in the video, from its transcript, with the key moments by timestamp.

    A 19-minute video → the gist, five points and “9:45 — A night on the sleeper”.

  • Chat about the videoPlus

    Ask follow-up questions, translate or fact-check what was said, not just the page around it.

  • Save videos

    A video card in your library, with thumbnail, channel and length. Save it at the minute you're at to pick up later.

  • Play in the library

    YouTube and Vimeo play right in the card, from where you left off. Nothing is downloaded.

Tools· In your browser

Take what you need from any page.

Logos, icons, tables, colours, fonts and text inside images, without opening developer tools.

    The Aiakaki logo on aiakaki.com → an SVG with its three neon colours.

Library· Your library

Keep what you learn, and build on it.

Everything you save lands at quixplain.it: in folders with sections and quizzes, as tiles or a list, ready to share.

The library in Tiles view, with filters for clips, notes, videos and imagesThe Quixplain toolbar popup over an article
  • Home

    A dashboard of what's going on: live games, latest saves and quizzes, today's requests, and your community stats.

  • Folders, sections and quizzes

    Each folder holds sections and quizzes, all opening and closing in the sidebar. Add one with a single +.

  • Tiles, filters and search

    Tiles, a list or compact rows; filter by clips, notes, videos or images, and narrow it as you type.

  • Linked assets

    Logos and pictures live once, at the top. Folders and pages hold linked copies: change the original and every copy follows.

    Recolour the logo once → it changes in all six pages that use it.

  • Make one your own

    Change a copy and it lets go of the original, while the copies under it follow the new version.

  • Share with friends

    Anything you saved, a folder or a section, to view or to edit together.

  • Upload or import

    PDFs, Office files and pictures straight into a folder, or plain copies of anything from Everything.

  • Choose what the extension offers

    A switch on each folder, section and quiz decides whether it's offered as a place to save to.

  • Save from anywhere

    One click from the Q, the popup or a snapshot, and any answer in the side panel.

3 questions wait here.

  • Checkpoints between questions

    Drop one between any two questions. Each opens the questions after it.

    Print one poster per checkpoint and hang them up. Players scan with their camera to open the next questions.

  • Time per part

    A time limit for the questions after a checkpoint, from when it's reached. Run out, and it's on to the next one.

    Reaching a checkpoint shows your own text and picture, then the questions waiting.
