Inoreader: Boost Productivity and Gain Insights with AI-Powered Intelligence Tools [Sponsor]

Inoreader, a powerful platform for content discovery and consumption, is becoming smarter with the launch of Inoreader Intelligence – a suite of AI-powered features designed to help users save time, gain meaningful insights, analyze, and act on valuable information faster. Whether you’re diving into daily news, tracking niche industry updates, or conducting in-depth research, Inoreader Intelligence transforms how you process information with the introduction of article summaries and Intelligence reports.

The first addition to the suite, article summaries, brings instant clarity to your content. A new Summarize button appears inside every article, allowing you to generate a quick overview, explore a specific aspect with customizable prompts, or even ask your own questions – all within the Inoreader interface. You’re in full control: tailor how the feature looks and behaves, set your preferred language, and define a prompt persona to suit your workflow. Summaries are fully searchable, saving you time not just in the moment, but also later.

With the newly introduced Intelligence reports, Inoreader levels up bulk content processing. Select multiple articles at once and run custom or predefined prompts to extract insights, compare sentiments, and create reports. Once generated, each report becomes a new article, ready to annotate, export, or share. Want to collaborate? Reports can be made public or shared privately across Teams.

Article summaries are available in Inoreader’s Pro, Custom, and Team plans, while Intelligence reports are included in the new Team Intelligence plan and offered as an add-on for Pro and Custom users. All plans include monthly Intelligence tokens, and if you prefer more control, you can connect your own OpenAI API key for added flexibility.

With Inoreader Intelligence, you don’t just collect information – you save time while understanding it faster and better. Explore article summaries and Intelligence reports today at Inoreader.com, or download the app from the App Store or Google Play to experience smarter reading!1

Our thanks to Inoreader for sponsoring MacStories this week.


  1. Intelligence reports will be released on Inoreader’s mobile apps later this year.
