Description
Recap is an innovative, open-source browser extension designed to streamline information consumption by leveraging the power of ChatGPT for summarization. This tool allows users to select any segment of text on any webpage and instantly generate a concise summary, powered by advanced AI.
At its core, Recap functions as a seamless integration into your browsing experience. Once installed, it provides an intuitive interface to highlight text and trigger the summarization process. This eliminates the need to copy and paste content into separate applications or manually condense lengthy articles. The extension is particularly useful for researchers, students, professionals, and anyone who frequently encounters extensive web content and needs to quickly grasp the main points.
The primary capability of Recap is its ability to split and summarize content on demand.
