ZoomOut

Ever feel like you're dropped into the middle of a news story with no context?
ZoomOut fixes that. Enter any topic or headline, and ZoomOut builds a clear, chronological timeline of everything that led up to this moment, with real sources for every event.
HOW IT WORKS
Type any topic, headline, or question, like "US-China trade war" or "What's happening with AI regulation?" ZoomOut researches the topic using AI-powered web search and builds a timeline of the key events, ordered chronologically.
Every story includes:

Catch Me Up: A quick summary that gives you all the context you need in under a minute. Written for anyone, no prior knowledge required.
Timeline: The key events that shaped the story, each with a clear summary and links to real sources so you can dig deeper.
What's Next: A measured look at what might happen next, with specific factors to watch.

CHOOSE YOUR DEPTH
Pick how deep you want to go:

Quick — 3 to 4 key events. Get the gist in 30 seconds.
Standard — 6 to 7 events. The full picture.
Deep Dive — 10+ events. For when you really want to understand.

Browse a live news feed and swipe any headline to instantly get the full story behind it. Explore stories other users have generated, or search for any topic you're curious about.
YOUR STORIES, SAVED
Every story you generate or view is saved to your personal library. Come back anytime to pick up where you left off.
BUILT ON REAL SOURCES
ZoomOut is not an opinion engine. Every event in every timeline is backed by real, published sources. Tap any source link to read the original reporting yourself.
