Highlight text. Ask AI. Instant summaries and explanations on any page.
Press ⌘⇧E (Ctrl+Shift+E on Windows) with nothing selected to get a concise summary of the whole page, led by a one-line gist and then the key points.
Select any term, clause or paragraph and ExplainTXT explains just that part in plain language, right where you are reading.
Answers open in a sidebar so you can ask additional questions about the page without leaving it or opening a separate chatbot tab.
Run it from the keyboard shortcut, a highlight context menu, the toolbar icon, or an alternate ⌘⇧S shortcut, and rebind the keys in Chrome.
Highlight the web, learn in public, and build your AI clone
Mark up passages on any website or lines in a YouTube transcript from a browser extension, then keep them in one searchable library.
Highlights are shared publicly by default, so you can follow other users, react to their picks and discover sources through people with similar interests.
Generate summaries of long articles, PDFs and YouTube videos to judge relevance fast and to digest what you have already saved.
Trained on your accumulated highlights and notes, the AI clone answers in the shape of your reading history and areas of interest.
