Summate.it

Summate.it solves a simple problem: most articles are longer than the value you get from reading every word. Instead of opening a giant piece of content, you drop its URL into Summate.it and receive a shortened summary produced by OpenAI's models. The service handles the article extraction for you, so you get clean, readable output rather than raw HTML.

The tool comes from FiveFilters.org, the team behind well-known reading and publishing utilities such as Push to Kindle and Full-Text RSS, which gives it a practical, no-nonsense feel. There is a free tier for casual use and paid plans for heavier usage, with account sign-in required to keep using the service beyond basic limits. A developer API lets you wire summarization into your own workflows.

Because it is URL-driven, Summate.it fits naturally into a reading or research routine: summarize a stack of links, keep the ones worth a full read, and skip the rest. It is intentionally minimal rather than a full document-management suite, so it is best suited to people who want fast article digests without extra setup.
