I built a Chrome extension that filters any webpage through your personal goals

Hey IH! 👋

I built BeeSift to help extract insights from long articles based on your personal goals.

This isn't just another summarizer - it's specifically about finding information that moves you toward YOUR goals. While summarizers compress everything, BeeSift ignores 95% of the content to find the 5% that actually helps you make progress.

I think it's useful for when you don't have much time, or you're easily distracted and want to focus on the essentials like me.

What it does

You set your personal goals (like "learn React" or "save for house"), then press Ctrl+Shift+K on any webpage (Cmd+Shift+K on Mac).

BeeSift extracts ONLY the parts that help your specific goals, ignoring everything else and stores them for later review or export as learnings.

Example: Reading a 5000-word article about investing while your goal is "max out 401k"?
→ BeeSift pulls out just the 401k-relevant parts, skipping the crypto and day trading stuff.

The tech

Chrome extension + OpenAI to understand context and match content to your goals. Processes everything in ~30 seconds.

Looking for beta testers

Need 20-30 people who read a lot online and have clear goals they're working toward.

Would love honest feedback! What would make this actually useful for your daily browsing. Eventually, I would like it to be an efficient learning tool - maybe
generate a podcast of your learnings or some sort of spaced repetition to remember what you have learned from all that web browsing.

  • What goals would you use this for?
  • What sites do you wish worked better with tools like this?
  • Is 30 seconds processing time acceptable?
