Shortform: Summary of Web + YouTube / ChatGPT

not very good for video summaries... fortunately the book summaries on the main app are very good.

High fee

I’ve been in IT since 1970 (BS-CSC, MSEE-Digital) with an AI course in 1972 (NCSU). Even in retirement, I’m always on the lookout for the best productivity apps/software. Also intensely intellectually curious. Your implementation of AI towards the analysis of web pages and videos is THE BEST EVER. Really, no hyperbolism whatsoever. This is something I use multiple times a day, to my delight. (Perhaps even to the detriment of my own “productivity.” But what’s the sense of being productive wh... Show more

Thank you, what a useful extension which incorporates swiftly into my workflow! It's like having a highly effective mindsharing session with someone knowledgeable in the field. For any webpage, it provides a high quality 1) summary 2) context 3) counterarguments 4) additional info links. For YouTube videos, the summary lines are timestamped. Suggestion for improvement: would be amazing if it can also summarize any embedded video (not just YouTube) in a webpage.

Pretty good when you're binging on research

Highly useful extension! Great for summarizing long reddit threads, and also (surprisingly) good for translating foreign Telegram Web channels (Telegram overrides the context menu in Chrome so its native translation doesn't work). BTW, the quality of the book summaries provided by the app is outstanding; far, far better than competing service Headway, for instance.

This is a really good extension and gives decent summaries. It's not quite working for me at the moment, so will reinstall it. I like the counter arguments and summaries. The feature I'd really like to have is to be able to save and sort summaries in our Shortform accounts for convenience, rather than having to copy/paste into a separate app. That one feature would take it up to a five for me.

The best! So useful for researchers, students, those creating second brains, and anyone that loves lifelong learning. It has a brief summary, then context to give you a better understanding of where this information is in the world of knowledge. The counter argument section is great for exploring what other ideas and opinions are out there. Students who use that in their research papers (along with supporting sources) are going to do much better than their counterparts. And there are links to... Show more

This AI summarizer tool is truly impressive and stands out from its peers. Its superior ability to provide precise, context-rich summaries is unparalleled. The user-friendly interface and the unique feature of presenting counterarguments make it a must-have tool, especially for professionals who need to condense vast amounts of information quickly. A huge shout-out to the development team for creating this innovative tool that has become indispensable to our work. The anticipation of future ... Show more

Works better then all the other AI summarizers I have tried and gives additional information when compiling data. It's great to experience a well thought out tool that's easy to use and anticipates your needs.
