It took us less than 7 hours to fully develop a low code AI-powered Google Chrome extension that summarizes any article online.🧵
This is how we did it and why:
WHY?
Anyone who scrolls through masses of articles on a daily basis can probably relate. They can get long, boring, and mislead the key points. Getting an article summary has to be quicker.
Naturally, we turned to Open AI for the answer. AI model named text-DaVinci-003 was able to summarize long and unstructured articles in seconds, even highlighting only the main points of the story. Unlike us, AI finds access & knows how to read closed/paid articles from bigger publishers like NY Times, The Economist, etc., and return an article summary.
If you need an evaluation of the specific article’s content Open AI provides the quickest look into any article online. Chatting with ChatGPT is cool and all, but this could be quicker.
HOW?
But how to get the same article summary in just one click? While ChatGPT struggling at its capacity during our prime work hours we would usually have to wait for the article summary. To make it easier for our workflow we decided to build a Chrome extension to speed things up & as we build in public, to share it with other content creators online.
We built this Chrome extension using a low code approach, using React for the front end, Mui for styling, Open AI, and Lambda for security.
This is our most efficient way to build Open AI Chrome extension yet. We’re enabling you to get access to any online article summary and increase reading efficiency with only one click!
