Add-on summary

Hi 👋

TLDR This is an extension (+ web app) that can take a painfully long piece of text and sum it up into five key bullet points using the power of NLP.

There's so much content out there but too little time to read everything. So many times, it happens that there's a long article that we're interested in, but we don't really feel like scouring through it to extract relevant information from it. TLDR This is a simple tool that can come in handy at that time by helping you spend less time reading counterproductive stuff and more on doing valuable work.

Steps to get cracking - Just click the "TL;DR" button in the toolbar on a webpage which you'd like summarized and within a few seconds you'll get the <5 sentence summary right there.
