  description

  SummarizeAI gives you an instant TL;DR for any webpage — articles, research papers, blog posts, documentation, and more.
  
  Click the extension icon, and within seconds you'll have a clear, concise summary of the page you're reading — without having to skim through walls of text.
  
  KEY FEATURES
  
  • Summarize any webpage in seconds
  • Side panel UI — summary appears beside the page, not over it
  • Adjustable length — short overview or detailed breakdown
  • Powered by Claude AI — accurate, readable summaries
  • Works on articles, blogs, docs, research papers, and more
  
  Stop reading everything. Start reading what matters.
  
  Requires an Anthropic API key (available free at anthropic.com).

  SummarizeAI reads any webpage and gives you a clear, structured summary in seconds — so you can decide if it's worth reading in full before you commit.
  
  The side panel approach: Unlike pop-up summarizers that interrupt your reading, SummarizeAI opens in Chrome's native side panel — next to the page, not over it. Read the summary and the original at the same time.
  
  What you get for every page: 
  ✅ 3–5 sentence summary of the main point 
  ✅ Key takeaways as a bulleted list 
  ✅ Action items (if any) 
  ✅ Estimated reading time saved
  
  Works on: 
  ✅ News articles and blog posts 
  ✅ Research papers and PDFs 
  ✅ Product pages and documentation 
  ✅ Long email threads (via Gmail) 
  ✅ Wikipedia articles
  
  BYOK (Bring Your Own Key): SummarizeAI uses your own OpenAI or Anthropic API key. You control your costs — a typical summary costs less than $0.02.
  
  🔒 Privacy: SummarizeAI sends the text content of pages you explicitly summarize to the AI provider you configure. No automatic summarization occurs. No data is stored by Maine Winters LLC.
