Some long reddit threads are a gold mine. But you need to dig deep in hundreds or thousands of comments to form the conclusion. To simplify that I automated it all in form of chrome extension with customization to fit your own needs. With one click it: - fetches metadata (with all comments) - cleans it - sends it to selected AI - gold, you are looking for Supported pages: - Threads - Subreddits - Search results
Pre-launch I was implementing core features based on my own needs. Now when it's public, it's no longer only about my needs, but yours too. I'd love to hear what feature you might be missing that could improve our reddit productivity even more.
@dakota_burrow howdy hi, my tweeter friend, glad to see you here. Yes, so far this is just MVP but I'll be working on it hard to improve and bring more useful features
Great idea and execution! I really appreciate that you built this as a plugin — scraping Reddit in a structured way while avoiding IP blocks and tracking is no small feat.
I’ve worked on a similar Chrome extension for Facebook before, and I can say the scraping and control part is tricky, but not the hardest. The real challenge is handling dynamic content — especially on sites where comments, reactions, and user relationships are loaded dynamically with ever-changing IDs. Trying to map that back into a clean, readable UI while preserving who said what, when, and how they’re connected… that’s where things get really hard.
You’ve nailed a tough problem here. Awesome work! 👏
@martin_machava Great point, and I agree completely. While businesses would buy official APIs for core data, the magic happens in the layer you're describing—making that data sync and feel live immediately. The browser/rendering level is a huge opportunity.
The real value isn't just in getting the data, but in what you do with it next. As we see with tools like Cursor's MCP, the future is in tight integration: letting AI not just summarize data scraped from a page, but also act on it, analyze it, or help you build with it directly. That's the interesting next step.

Just realized reddit doesn't have its own AI summary tool, so I’m still skimming through endless comments every time. This extension is incredibly useful! Love the logo (especially the antenna lol) and the in-page design. Congrats on the launch!
@e36 Yes, the Reddit AI that's there is quite under performing. I wouldn't have need to create my own solution if the native one was actually good.
Reddit Summarizer can really save hours of time.

This solves a very real Reddit problem. Long threads often have incredible insights, but the signal is buried under hundreds of comments, this makes extracting value much faster. I like that it works not just on threads, but also on subreddits and search results, which is where research usually starts. The one-click flow and customization make it feel practical rather than gimmicky. Great use case for anyone doing research, market validation, or trend analysis.
Nice. Could save me in AITA rabbit holes on the bus. I usually skim 1–2k comments hunting for the update and the one smart reply. Do your summaries keep links to the key comments so I can jump back? Also curious how you handle token limits on huge threads.
@alexcloudstar I clear json metadata and keep only relevant fields for AI to process.
Summarization results can be seen in History section but History is visible only in that specific site. If you like the summary, you can save it and it will always be visible in Save section.
I wonder what are your reddit use-cases. You might be able to automate that by creating your own custom Mode so it's always just one click away.

Wow, this is amazing! Love that it summarizes entire subreddits. Does the AI prioritize heavily upvoted comments when forming the summary?
@jaydev13 I'm just glad it's useful for you and many others. Yes, I clear metadata from "trash" and keep only relevant fields for analysis including upvotes, nested comments etc.
If you got any tips for improvement, I'll be happy to implement them.
@agzee taking into account this is my first public extension, I must say I'm pretty proud how good, smooth and stable it is. But let me know anything you would like to improve and I do my best to help.

@chi_hung_wong I was also doing something similar for X (tweeter) and it was also quite difficult. Facebook must be even harder level than that.
With Reddit I was really lucky, the implementation was much much easier than on X or Facebook thanks to open json endpoints to fetch metadata.

@vik_sh wow you describe it better than I could do so 😄
It's saving me hours and because my friends also asked for it, I decided to help all and go public with it 😊
