SummarAI

SummarAI is a focused Chrome extension built around one gesture: select some text on a page, click the extension icon, and read a short summary. There is no dashboard to learn and no separate web app to sign into. It is aimed at students, researchers, professionals and anyone else who wants the gist of a long article, scientific paper or blog post without reading all of it.

The extension gives you control over the output rather than returning a single fixed result. You can ask for a one-sentence summary, a two-to-four-sentence paragraph, or a bulleted list, and you can switch between different AI models depending on the kind of text you are working with. Once a summary appears, you can copy it to the clipboard or regenerate it if the first attempt misses the point.

SummarAI is a bring-your-own-key tool: you must supply an OpenAI API key, which the extension prompts for at installation. There is no bundled quota or paid tier on the developer's side, so your only cost is your OpenAI usage. The listing reports 29 users and a version 1.0 release from May 2023, and the developer declares that no user data is collected. That makes it a small, stable, single-purpose utility rather than an actively expanding product.
