How Parallax works

From article to insight in seconds. Here's what happens under the hood.

01

Paste or browse

Paste any article URL into the Parallax scanner, or install the browser extension to analyse articles as you read them. We extract the article text server-side so there's nothing to copy.

02

AI analysis

Our AI model scans every paragraph for 25+ rhetorical techniques — from selective framing and loaded language to logical fallacies and cognitive biases. Results stream in as each chunk is analysed.

03

See the patterns

Each finding is highlighted in context with a confidence score. Click any highlight to see an explanation, a counterargument, and supporting sources. A framing score (0-100) summarises the article's overall rhetorical load.

04

Go deeper

Ask follow-up questions about any finding via AI chat. Explore blind spots — perspectives the article may have missed. Share specific findings or full reports with others.

05

Track your diet

Over time, Parallax builds a personal reading profile. See which techniques and sources dominate your media diet, spot trends, and get personalised insights about your information consumption.
