summarize.me — Gmail Summarizer
summarize.me is a chrome extension developed by Adi Yeltay. It falls under the category of Browsers and is classified as an Add-ons & Tools subcategory. This extension is designed to shorten long emails into concise summaries, making it easier for users to quickly grasp the main points without having to read through lengthy messages.
With summarize.me, users can select the specific portion of an email that they want to shorten. By clicking on the summarize.me extension button, users can then choose the "Summarize" option in the popup to generate a summary. The result is displayed within the extension popup, allowing users to quickly access the condensed version of the email.
It is important to note that summarize.me currently supports only chromium-based browsers such as Chrome and Brave. Furthermore, the extension utilizes extractive summarization, which means it extracts key sentences from the email without paraphrasing or altering the meaning. The application works best with the English language and may not function flawlessly with other languages.
In the latest update 1.0.0, summarize.me introduces a new feature that allows users to utilize its functionality directly within the Gmail application. Users can now open the extension once before their session and enjoy the convenience of summarizing emails without constantly opening the extension popup.
