Summari - Instantly summarize any article or webpage in one click

Summary: Your AI-powered reading assistant that summarizes text, so you can read the highlights first and then decide how to prioritize your time. 👋 Hi Product Hunt, I’m Ed, founder and CEO of Summari. Wanted to share a little bit about our journey and how Summari came to be 👇. We started as a payments company but didn’t find the traction we needed, so we shifted our focus. As we explored other ideas, the team constantly shared blogs, newsletters, and articles with each other. We all felt overwhelmed by the volume of content and the important information inside each piece that we wanted to know but didn’t always have time for 😖. We realized everyone has this problem. Too much to read, too little time. When we spoke with friends, we found everyone has a different way of dealing with information overload. Like emailing/texting yourself the link, saving it to Pocket or Instapaper, opening another browser tab, even printing the article out 😂 to read later. Ultimately everyone admitted they rarely read what they save for later. People save links because they feel the information trapped inside is important. And they’re right – information creates knowledge 🧠, which helps people to reach their full potential. As we explored solutions, we realized that super important jobs (with unlimited resources 💰) have a way to deal with this: executive summaries that simplify dense information to the key ideas. Like the President’s daily briefing, or how CEOs are sent updates. So, we had our thesis 📝 – people would find value in reading summaries of their daily content diet. We identified a handful of publications to summarize and created a community of (paid) students 👩‍🎓 from top universities to summarize that content as soon as it was published. Early users loved the highlights and how they could save time. The requests for additional publications came rolling in and we needed to find a way to scale. Our community had spent thousands of hours reading & summarizing articles in our very specific (and loved!) format, which was a unique AI training dataset. So we trained and tweaked an AI model 🤖 until it could summarize text to read exactly like that from our community. Our AI-powered reading assistant transforms text into its highlights, helping you filter through content so you can decide what is worth your limited time 🙌. It works via Chrome Extension, webapp, on mobile (iOS & Android), and also in Slack. We’re in the very early days, and are hard at work on speed and coverage improvements, but we’re super excited 🙏 to share the Summari Beta with the Product Hunt community. This product is the only thing we’ve found that stands a chance of fighting information overload, helping us to read more in our limited time and spend time only on what matters 🤓. Appreciate your support and feedback, Ed

Looks like an amazing product Ed! Congrats to the whole team for shipping this out there for knowledge hungry folks. The summarization quality is top-notch. Product of the month here you come!

Congrats on the launch! Especially the mobile app is something that can be useful for me.

congrats on the launch. super interested to know how this works on long articles with more than 5000 words?

This is a game changer for college students. I have to read a bunch of articles/reports at school and have used these summaries as notes.

I use Summari every day mainly on Slack as a personal reading dock while using DeepL to translate in Japanese. Wondering if you are considering a feature to let us paste text to summarize(like DeepL), especially for paywalled articles. Anyhow, congrats & thank you!

I've been using it for a few months, and it has been quite valuable. With the increasing flow of information, Summari helps me to assess quickly if a long read is worth it (and if not, I go away with some key insights that are often more than enough!)

Congrats on the launch! I wish I had this will studying in UEF - would have helped my time handling.

So cool

Summari seems like a cool tool for students, I'm sure it can help in studies. Cool product, congrats on the launch!

Wow, It's a cool products. It will save a lot of time for reading. Just wonder how accuracy is it? Anyway, Congrats on the launch!!

What this app does(with about 80 percentage success rate) is remove all the fluff: stories, quotes, names, and titles from an article. The resulting distillation is impressive. I am sure as the AI improves, this app would get more accurate and increasingly useful.

I absolutely love the idea! ❤️ Sadly the Chrome extensions had struggled recognising the TC's article page structure where below the article comes a long list of suggested reads and thus dedicated only a single bullet point to the article itself - perhaps something that can be improved going forward! 🙂 https://techcrunch.com/2022/03/2...

Wow! This will be very helpful. Are you thinking to add it to Safari?

Hello, @eshrager Great product. It seems to be a timer saver. Usually, get overwhelmed to read a long article.

Wooo so cool! I find it particularly useful for researching procedures! Summari allows you to focus and to save more time for executions and creativity! Love it! Congratulations on the launch! ^__^ Does it have maybe Chrome extension? :))

Shut the front door! This is dope. Love that it can summarize links. Can it just give me the recipe on food websites and save me from scrolling through 17 paragraphs on the history behind the recipe?

I've been seeing this (in beta?) for a few months and I'll just say: these are good enough that I can quickly decide whether or not an article is worth reading. I'm sure the !product team isn't satisfied yet but I hope ?makers are proud of what they've accomplished. Can't wait to watch it improve!

Oh wow! I wish we always get to know whats worth spending time on!)) Summari could be very helpful!!

This is a really nice tool. Congrats on the launch!
