About

When you want to summarize a web page, simply open the page and click the **“Capture”** button in the **AI Sidebar**. The page’s main text is extracted and automatically pasted into the input box of your chosen AI engine—**ChatGPT or Gemini**—ready to be used as a summarization prompt. You can also capture YouTube subtitles and feed them to either engine in exactly the same way.

* 📝 **Text Capture**
Automatically scrapes the visible article content and drops it straight into the selected AI’s message box—no manual copy-and-paste required.

* 📋 **Prompt Templates**
Inserts a preset template optimized for both engines, so summarizing web content becomes a one-click operation.

* 🎥 **YouTube Subtitle Ingestion**
Seamlessly pulls transcript data from YouTube videos and pastes it into the AI prompt field, making long-form videos quick to digest.

* ✂️ **Intelligent Splitting**
If the captured text exceeds a configured length, it’s automatically chunked and sent to the AI in sequence—keeping even very long documents flowing smoothly.
