Skimming AI

About

Skimming AI puts an AI research assistant in your browser's sidebar. Open it on any web page, YouTube video, social post, or PDF and instantly get a clean summary, a full transcript, or answers to your own questions  without leaving the tab you're on.

Whether it's a long article, a 40-minute lecture, a podcast, or a dense PDF, Skimming AI reads it for you and gives back the key points in seconds.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Summarize any web page, article, or PDF in one click
• Get full transcripts of YouTube and social videos (Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Reddit)
• Ask follow-up questions and chat with the content — answers grounded in what's actually on the page
• Copy or download any summary or transcript as .md or .txt
• The sidebar follows you as you switch tabs

HOW IT WORKS
Connect the extension to your Skimming AI account with a free API key. Open the sidebar and it automatically detects what you're viewing and routes it to the right tool. Your selected page or video is processed by Skimming AI's servers to generate the summary or transcript.
