If you're looking for a service to save and share summaries of web pages while controlling who gets to see and do what with the information, Recall is a good choice. This information retrieval service lets you summarize and store web pages, including YouTube videos, blog posts and articles, in a personal knowledge base. It uses AI for summarization and tagging, stores data offline and protects it with end-to-end encryption, and is available as a browser extension for Chrome and Firefox. Recall also offers a free version and a Plus Plan for $7 per month, so it's good for professionals and students.
Another tool worth a look is Sumr, a Safari browser extension that uses an OpenAI API key to condense long web pages into bullet point summaries. It stores summaries locally and works on macOS, iOS, iPadOS and Vision OS. Sumr is cheap, with no subscription fees, and you can control which websites the extension can use, helping to protect your privacy.
If you're using Chrome, Gist AI can summarize web pages, YouTube videos and PDFs with the ChatGPT technology. It's free, doesn't retain any personal data beyond the summarized text, and is easy to install. It's good for students and professionals who need to quickly understand the gist of long documents.
