Your prompt

Fill in your details. Skip any you like.

This AI can't be filled in from a link, so the button copies your prompt: paste it into the new chat.

The prompt that gets copied

Help me understand the story on this page. First, summarize it in 5 plain-English bullets. Then compare how at least [NUMBER OF OUTLETS, e.g. 3] other outlets are covering the same story: where they agree, where they differ, and any facts only one outlet reports. Flag anything that reads like opinion presented as fact. Finally, write a [WORD COUNT, e.g. 150]-word explainer I could share with my [YOUR AUDIENCE, e.g. newsletter readers], who are [WHO THEY ARE, e.g. small business owners], in a calm, neutral tone, with links to the sources. Don't add your own predictions or advice.

Open a news story in the free Comet browser and ask its assistant how other outlets cover it. You get a calm, plain-English explainer for your newsletter or clients.
