🎥 Watch it in action: Working demo of Summarise AI
This short demo shows how the extension instantly summarizes any webpage using Google Chrome’s built-in on-device AI.
It extracts clean article text, generates a concise summary, and presents it in an easy-to-read format — all in seconds.
Summarise AI is a Chrome extension that helps users quickly understand long web content.
It uses Mozilla’s Readability library to extract the main text from any webpage and then applies Chrome’s experimental Summarization API, powered by Gemini Nano, to generate an on-device AI summary.
All processing happens locally — ensuring privacy, speed, and offline availability.
