You are on the hunt for interesting articles around the web, open 100 tabs and end up… not reading them. Sounds familiar?
Personally I prefer reading long-form content on the go, using my e-book reader — on the train, at a café or in the forest.
Today I wanted to share my latest project with you:
AI Summary Helper allows you to summarize articles with a custom prompt — so it can be as tailored to your language, profession or point of view as you define it. You can also ask questions about the article.
The summary gets inserted in the content area itself. This way you can easily forward the artice, including the generated summary to your Kindle device e.g. using Reabbles Send-to-Kindle tool.
Why I do this in general?
On the go I am way more likely to engage with the content I intentionally selected earlier.
The tailored briefing then helps me to recall why I chose the article, suggests me books and other media related to it.
In another post I wrote about portable literacy and how a simple accessibility hack shifted my reading habits. Feel free to check it out:
Lightweight & Browser & OS-agnostic, even works on iOS / Safari, no plugin required
Needs to be recreated when you want to try a different prompt
Conveniently access from your browser
Adjust prompt on the fly
Add specific question per article
