01
Watch your sources.
Animated presenters, on-device voices, and source imagery turn reading into a broadcast.
02
Direct the explanation.
Ask questions. Change the tone, length, or focus. Choose the response that plays best.
03
Keep the show.
Replay your segment, save the video, or share it through the system’s familiar controls.
Research becomes something you make
Don’t just watch.
Direct the show.
Start with an article, a paper, or an EPUB-length source. Crunch it, ask a question, then shape the answer for the audience you have in mind.
A technical briefing. A study segment. A more conversational explanation. Even a short product introduction. The conversation is your script editor.
Your selected words. Your choice of voice.
The presenter and source imagery, together.
A finished video—not a screen recording.
Keep the performance.
Leave the generation waits out of the video.
Example creative directionsYou set the brief
“Make this an executive briefing.”
“Now explain it for someone new to the topic.”
“Keep the point. Make it shorter.”
Choose a response→Broadcast→Replay & share

NO DATA CENTERS
Gravitas Crunch runs its AI on your device. Apple Intelligence powers research. Qwen generates speech. Mind’s Eye builds the presentation. No account required. Your library stays on your device.
The future of AI in your pocket—not a data center.
AI summaries, research responses, and generated narration currently support English. Apple Intelligence features require a compatible device with Apple Intelligence enabled. Online sources require internet access.

Good questions.
Start with a source you care about. There’s more than one way to experience it.

Created by Rich Fallat, bringing a character artist’s eye to the way information is presented.
Read the making-ofWhat should I try first?
Copy a web link, a passage, or a long AI response from another app. Say “Hey Siri, Crunch broadcast” to watch a crunched outline, “Hey Siri, Crunch audiobook” to hear the full text, or “Hey Siri, Crunch clipboard” to open it in the Reader.
What is Mind’s Eye?
Mind’s Eye is Crunch’s real-time procedural 2D animation system. It combines authored presenter artwork, lip sync, subtle motion, layered sets, source imagery, and broadcast graphics. The artwork is prepared; each particular segment is assembled from the material being presented.
Can I make a video from a research response?
Yes. In the Research Assistant’s Broadcast workflow, select a response or the transcript and present it with an animated host. The finished segment can be replayed, saved, and shared. Generation waits and user pauses do not become dead time in the exported video; the voice’s intended pauses remain.
Can I change the length, style, or speaking voice?
Use conversation to request a different length, tone, focus, or audience, then select the response to broadcast. Choose from the app’s available speaking voices. A requested duration is a creative target; the actual spoken length depends on the text and voice.
How do the answers stay connected to the source?
Crunch works from a structured, summarized representation of the material. Executive, Technical, Study Guide, and Focus offer different ways to work with it. Available citations link back to supporting passages. Generated answers can still contain mistakes; use the source to check important claims.
What’s the difference between radio and an audiobook?
Robot Radio creates shorter, anchor-style reports from your feeds and stations. Article audiobook playback stays with the longer source in navigable sections. You can move from the report to the original article and then into deeper narration.
Which devices and system versions do I need?
Mind’s Eye is built for iOS 27, with experiences across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro. Apple Intelligence features require compatible hardware and Apple Intelligence turned on. Consult the App Store listing for current requirements on each platform.
What if a source, image, or transcript is unavailable?
Sources differ in what they make accessible. A podcast may not publish a transcript, an embedded video may have restrictions, or a page may not provide usable images. Reading and supported media remain available through the source view. For a problem report, include your device, system version, source URL, and what happened.
