Some of the key features of Circa include:

• Summarizing complex, evolving news stories into key points so users can quickly understand the basics.
• Tracking developing stories over time and updating briefs as the story progresses.
• Allowing users to follow specific topics, outlets, regions to customize their news feed.
• Formats that optimize the reading experience for mobile devices and across platforms.
• Using natural language processing and algorithms to extract key facts and developments as they happen.
• Providing references and links to original reporting sources for transparency.

The app is designed for busy readers who want to stay informed on the day's top news but may not have time to read full articles from multiple sources. Circa simplifies the news into 'atoms' of information that form the building blocks of stories to facilitate understanding and shareability.
