About 5MinRead

5MinRead is an AI-powered browser extension that helps you read smarter, not longer. We believe the best readers aren't the ones who read the most — they're the ones who read the right things efficiently.

What We Do

We use AI to summarize articles, highlight key passages, and synthesize research from multiple sources — all within your browser. No copy-pasting, no switching tabs, no friction.

Why We Built This

The average knowledge worker spends 2+ hours per day reading. Most of that time is spent on content that could be consumed in a fraction of the time with the right tools. We built 5MinRead to give that time back.

Our Blog

This blog covers tips for productive reading, guides for using 5MinRead features, and insights about AI-powered content consumption. We publish weekly.
