Text simplification and summarization are great places this technology can be deployed for non-commercial usage. One example is https://newsela.com which provides articles on many different subjects at various reading levels for kids in school. For example, you can adjust the reading level on an article like this:

https://newsela.com/read/lib-convo-europe-invasion-dna/id/33...

Currently, this process is manual. But, our APIs could be used to help automate things like this in the near future. Quick reminder that our APIs are free for open-source or educational purposes. So, if anyone's interested in giving this a go for a hackathon project, you can e-mail me at ajay@plasticity.ai
