Content repurposing
Content Repurposer — turn any source into assets for every platform.
Start from a URL, PDF, YouTube transcript, pasted text, article search, or topic research. Highlightly extracts hooks, quotes, stats, key points, and insights, then turns them into quote cards, stat graphics, carousels, screenshots, and platform captions.

What you get
Everything this feature includes.
3 evidence extraction modes
Choose Faithful Extract (stays close to the source), Clean Rewrite (clearer takeaways and implications), or Research Brief (adds cited outside context via Gemini research). Each mode tunes how the source material is processed.
AI content intelligence
Highlightly extracts hooks, key points, quotes, statistics, facts, insights, entities, and comparisons from your source. You choose what to publish.
Multiple output formats from one source
The same article becomes quote cards, stat graphics, carousel slides, screenshot callouts, story crops, and platform captions — without copy-pasting between tools.
Platform-specific captions
Generate LinkedIn, X, Instagram, and Reddit captions from the same selected angle. Each draft is tuned for the platform's tone and length.
Source attribution preserved
Every exported asset keeps the source context available: title, author, publication, domain, and the original excerpt. Attribution stays visible.
Batch processing
Ingest multiple articles or documents at once to process an entire content batch. Every source gets the same extraction and asset generation workflow.
