Skimming AI

Skimming AI started as a Chrome extension for squeezing knowledge out of audio, video and text on any website, and it has grown into a summarization workspace. You can drop in a document, a video, a link or a page you are reading, and the tool returns a condensed, readable version so you can absorb the key points without consuming the full source.

The newer Radar feature shifts it toward ongoing monitoring. Instead of summarizing one video at a time, Radar follows the YouTube, X and TikTok channels you choose and summarizes every new upload as it lands, producing a continuous feed of what those channels have published. That makes it practical to track dozens of creators or newsletters-style sources without watching each release.

Because summaries are generated content rather than transcripts, they are best treated as a fast first pass: useful for triage, research orientation and deciding what deserves your full attention. The extension is the free entry point, with paid plans for heavier usage.
