ReaderGPT: ChatGPT powered web summary
ReaderGPT: ChatGPT Web Page Summarizer Chrome Extension
ReaderGPT is a Chrome extension that harnesses ChatGPT to instantly summarize web pages using fully customizable prompts.
Overview
ReaderGPT transforms how you consume online content by pairing the power of ChatGPT with your browser. With a single click, this Chrome extension pulls the readable text from any webpage and feeds it to ChatGPT along with a prompt you control, delivering a tailored summary in seconds instead of forcing you to read through lengthy articles.
What sets ReaderGPT apart is its flexibility. Rather than offering one rigid summary style, it lets users craft prompts for whatever they need: condensing an article into bullet points, capping a summary at a specific word count, simplifying complex text for younger readers, translating content into another language, or even generating captions. Whether you're connecting via an OpenAI API key or your existing ChatGPT login, ReaderGPT adapts to your workflow and reading habits.
For students racing through research papers, professionals scanning industry news, or content creators repurposing text, ReaderGPT turns information overload into digestible insights, saving valuable time on every page you visit.
