A Chrome side panel for reading
Read the article.
See the shape
around it.
RightLeftAndCenter sits in Chrome’s side panel. It sums up the article, maps the discussion around it where there is one, and answers your questions.
ArticleDiscussionAsk RLCHistory
The constellations stand for the sections of the panel’s Discussion surface, in order: key themes, leading views versus the wider discussion, what the discussion adds, main disagreements and less common perspectives.
In the side panel
One side panel. Four ways to read.
-
Article
One reading becomes clearer.
The article in brief. It works on its own, with or without a discussion.
-
Discussion
Reactions become a shape.
Tone, key themes, disagreements and less common views — where the article has a reader discussion.
-
Ask RLC
Follow the question that matters to you.
Answers grounded in the article and, when shown, its discussion.
-
History
Return to a field you explored.
Articles and questions you have already opened in RLC.
The Discussion surface
Each shape stands for a section of the panel.
Where an article has a reader discussion, RLC reads all of it and lays it out in the same order every time. Comments are paraphrased; RLC never shows individual comments or who wrote them.
-
Key themes
The topics readers keep returning to.
Housing supply and affordabilityEconomic performance and living standardsDemographics and pension sustainability -
Leading views vs the wider discussion
What the most prominent comments say, set against what the rest of the discussion adds or changes.
-
What the discussion adds
Facts, context and experience from readers that go beyond what the article itself says.
-
Main disagreements
The points readers genuinely contest — with each other, or with the article.
-
Less common perspectives
Substantive views held by only a few readers, that you would otherwise miss.
The company
AI is the engine. Understanding is the product.
RightLeftAndCenter is an AI company building tools that help readers understand articles and the conversations around them.
RLC uses AI to read the article you choose and, where there is one, the discussion beneath it — then organises what it finds into something you can take in at a glance. It does not rate truth or score anyone’s politics. It shows you the shape of what was said, and leaves the judgement to you.
Principles
Built to be trusted with your reading.
-
Only what you choose
RLC reads an article only when you ask it to, and only on supported publications. Your publisher sign-in never leaves your browser.
-
Readers, not names
Discussion insights are paraphrased. RLC never shows individual comments or who wrote them.
-
Shown, not scored
No bias ratings and no truth scores. The article and its discussion are analysed separately, so each can be read on its own terms.
How it works
Six steps, one side panel.
Checked against the real extension. Readable even if you ignore the stars.
