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

@eshrager What a great idea! It dove tails nicely with a product we are getting ready to launch called Brand Builder. It's similar in that we are grabbing brand assets from a url and summarizing them for the user. We also have an API being released. Your product is killer and I'd love any feedback on ours as we prepare to launch. You can follow along with our Upcoming product page here- www.producthunt.com/upcoming/adi.... Congrats on the launch!

@umer_sufyan1 Longer articles are where we shine! It's also where we've developed some very unique technology where others haven't been able to process long text previously. One point of caution is that when you start going beyond a certain length, a summary is harder to use as a consumer because it needs to be longer or sacrifice some of the main ideas: it's always a trade-off. So you can generate a summary but it might be longer than you expect because we will always want to produce something high quality with as many main points as possible. One fun example of a long document we have produce an amazing summary for is the Ethereum Whitepaper which is 75 minutes long and useful for anyone learning about cryptocurrencies!

@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

@cristian_mezei this is really kind, thank you. we focused heavily on quality as a summary must be trustworthy and do justice to the original author's work which we don't want to replace. we're still learning and improving things - long way to go but your support and feedback is really appreciated

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!

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?

@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!

@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 :)
