ReaderGPT is a Chrome extension that utilizes ChatGPT to summarize web pages with a single click, helping users quickly grasp the main points of lengthy articles. It's designed for individuals bogged down by long content and ever-growing 'read later' lists. The extension allows users to curate a list of prompts and generate content based on any of their prompts. It supports using an OpenAI API Key or ChatGPT login, offering flexibility in how users interact with ChatGPT.
The extension is straightforward to use: simply click the ReaderGPT button while on a webpage, and it will generate a summary based on the current prompt. Users can modify the prompt to suit their needs, such as changing the language of the summary or the style of summarization.
One noted limitation is that ChatGPT has content length limits, which can result in errors when attempting to summarize very long web pages.
ReaderGPT saves time for users by condensing lengthy content into key points, making it easier to stay informed without having to read through entire articles. It's particularly useful for those consuming content in multiple languages, as it can generate summaries in the user's preferred language.
