What Reduce is

Reduce is a web application for making personalized newsletters from content you follow. Add sources including YouTube, Reddit, X, RSS feeds, podcasts, and email inboxes, then organize a digest into named sections. Plain-English prompts filter what appears in each section, and custom prompts are included on all plans. Choose a daily, weekly, selected-day, or every-N-days schedule. Reduce sends summaries by email with links to the original sources. It says each delivery covers content published since the previous one and catches up after a missed week. Digests can also be turned into audio episodes summarized by two AI hosts. The Free plan is free forever. Starter costs $10/month and allows five digests, up to 20 sources per digest including at most five X sources, five AI podcast episodes per month, and 10 AI generations per month. Pro costs $30/month and allows 20 digests, up to 60 sources per digest including at most 15 X sources, 20 podcast episodes and 50 AI generations per month, and priority support. A seven-day Pro trial is available without a credit card; afterward, users can continue with Starter or Pro. Reduce says setup takes under two minutes, while its documentation describes getting started in five minutes.

Who it suits

Reduce suits people who want curated email digests from sources they follow and want prompts to shape what appears in each section. It also fits readers who want scheduled audio versions of digests or a way to catch up after a missed week.
