Summarization AI

The core of the extension is a one-click summarize button. Open any page, hit it, and the tool condenses the content to whatever length you set, from a couple of lines to a fuller breakdown. There's no need to copy text into a separate app. If you summarize web pages all day, the summary shows up in the side panel while the page stays open behind it.

You aren't locked to one provider. Summarization AI lets you route a page through a Gemini summarizer, a Claude summarizer or an OpenAI summarizer, and switch between them whenever you like. Each model writes differently, so this is useful when one summary feels too terse or misses a point you care about. You supply the API key, which keeps you in control of the account and the spending.

English and Japanese are treated as equals in this tool, not as a default plus an afterthought. You can read a summary in either language and flip between the two with a single click. It also converts an English page into Japanese, or the reverse, so a foreign-language article becomes readable without a trip to a separate translator.

The extension watches the page you're on and pulls its URL automatically, so it works as an always-ready AI page summarizer. There's no pasting links by hand. Everything runs in a Chrome side panel, so it sits next to the page instead of covering it, and you can keep scrolling through the source while the summary takes shape.

Once a summary is ready, a single click copies it to your clipboard. From there it drops into Slack, an email draft or any chat window without reformatting. For people who pass summaries around a team, that small step saves the fiddly cleanup that comes with copying from a full article.

Every summary you generate lands in a history list, so you can go back to something you read last week instead of re-summarizing the page. The whole log exports to CSV, which turns a pile of scattered reads into a file you can sort, search or fold into a research document.
