Summari is a web and mobile app that can summarize long text articles into bullet points. This allows you to filter content more effectively and save time.

People preview a 2-hour movie with a trailer: we make this possible for text.

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!!
Ed Shrager
@duylien Thank you! I think accuracy is something we will always continue to work at, however, we think it is doing a great job so far. The quality is a result of an enormous unique dataset of human work over thousands of hours and this is a secret sauce - by spending the time to train it effectively, you see the quality in the results.

@duylien Great question, Alex. Given we use a combination of abstractive and extractive summarization, it's already pretty accurate. This will only improve over time as we retrain with both human-written summaries and the best output from the AI

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.
Ed Shrager
@vikram_arora That's a great comment, thank you. We're constantly working to improve that success rate and feedback is super important to do that!
Brett Byron
@vikram_arora Thanks, Vikram. You're exactly right, this will only improve over time as we build a larger data set. We won't be happy until we're closer to 100% :)

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...

@german_mikulski Hey German - thanks for this feedback, it's exactly how we can improve things. Interestingly, we've done a bunch of work on TechCrunch because it does have a different structure to many other sites and it was working quite well. I think with that link you shared the actual article itself is less than 250 words so a summary isn't going to produce much because otherwise, it would be almost as long as the main text. However, we looked into this and you're right it has summarized content from outside the article so we'll check this bug and fix it. Would love for you to keep trying to out and let us know if you find anything else as that's the best way for us to keep evolving the product.

@eshrager thanks Ed - will keep you posted, and congrats on winning the Product of the Day! 🥳

Wow! This will be very helpful. Are you thinking to add it to Safari?
Ed Shrager
@manab_boruah Great question! We're planning to copy the Chrome extension we currently have into a Safari extension soon!
Brett Byron
@manab_boruah Soon, Manab. In the meantime you can use the webapp (app.summari.com) on Safari to paste a link in
Manab Boruah
@bbyron Thanks Brett. Works like a magic. Will surely spread the word.

@eshrager Thanks! It works perfectly well on the app.summari.com

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? :))
Ed Shrager
@maria_brm Thanks Maria! Yes, we have a Chrome extension! Here's the link to it incase you can't find it on the Product Hunt page https://chrome.google.com/websto...
Brett Byron
@maria_brm it does indeed :) hope you enjoy the Chrome extension as well
Maria
@eshrager Perfect! *_* Thanks a lot for the answer and the provided link Ed! I will be happy to try out Summari! ^_^
Maria
@bbyron No doubts I will! ^_^ I will be happy to share my first impressions! ^_^
Dawn Veltri
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?
Ed Shrager
@dawn_veltri1 Awesome! We haven't tried it on recipes much but I know @bbyron did think about this the other day! What a great idea for us to try, thank you!
Brett Byron
@dawn_veltri1 Thanks Dawn! And I know.. the preambles in digital recipes are out of control. Summari isn't a great tool for recipes as we summarize ALL the text in the article, including the preamble + the recipe, so it would really just give you a condensed version of the entire thing. What would be better is if we cut out all the preamble and just left you with the recipe. Not currently how the product works, but something for us to think about :)

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!
Ed Shrager
@joshua_herzig_marx Thank you for these kind words. We're going to keep improving things from here!!!
Brett Byron
@joshua_herzig_marx Thank you for being an early adopter and for your support! You're right, we're not satisfied YET but excited about the potential :)
