Summarize

Summarize is a toolset that lets you point at almost any content and quickly extract the gist, whether that content is a webpage, a YouTube video, a podcast, or a local file. It’s built around a CLI workflow so you can summarize from the terminal, but it also includes a Chrome extension so you can do the same thing directly while browsing. The project pairs an on-device “daemon” style background service with user-facing commands and extension UI, so summaries can feel immediate and repeatable once installed. It’s designed for people who constantly triage information and need a fast way to turn long, messy sources into short, actionable takeaways. The repository includes troubleshooting guidance for common extension and connectivity issues, which signals that the tool is intended for daily use rather than one-off demos. Overall, it positions itself as a practical “reading accelerator” that fits into both developer workflows and normal browsing habits.
