Recap

Select a section of a webpage in Chrome, and Recap sends that text to ChatGPT and gives you a short summary back.

You do not have to summarize the whole page, which is the main reason to pick it over a generic page summarizer.

Recap is a Chrome extension and AI summarizer that works on the parts of an article you actually care about, such as one long section in the middle of a documentation page or a single argument in a long post.

Recap relies on ChatGPT, so you may need a ChatGPT account, and the summaries are only as good as what ChatGPT produces.

It runs only in Chrome, so Firefox and Safari users are out of luck.

The project is open source, which is handy if you want to see how it passes page text along or adapt it yourself.

For quick reading triage inside the browser, it keeps the job small and focused.
