User reviews

Pavlo Sazonov (ID: 000000792fb9603e) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/19/2023 Pretty good when you're binging on research

Dan Dascalescu (ID: 0000006c65e966fe) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/09/2023 Highly useful extension! Great for summarizing long reddit threads, and also (surprisingly) good for translating foreign Telegram Web channels (Telegram overrides the context menu in Chrome so its native translation doesn't work). BTW, the quality of the book summaries provided by the app is outstanding; far, far better than competing service Headway, for instance.

Sean Brightman (ID: 0000006cebab659b) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 09/19/2023 This is a really good extension and gives decent summaries. It's not quite working for me at the moment, so will reinstall it. I like the counter arguments and summaries. The feature I'd really like to have is to be able to save and sort summaries in our Shortform accounts for convenience, rather than having to copy/paste into a separate app. That one feature would take it up to a five for me.

Amy J. Harris (ID: 000000ccb61e8efa) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/26/2023 The best! So useful for researchers, students, those creating second brains, and anyone that loves lifelong learning. It has a brief summary, then context to give you a better understanding of where this information is in the world of knowledge. The counter argument section is great for exploring what other ideas and opinions are out there. Students who use that in their research papers (along with supporting sources) are going to do much better than their counterparts. And there are links to additional resources. Just remember not all professors will accept web links as scholarly sources. But seriously, this helps me save time while still doing critical thinking and even more researching. I highly recommend this plug-in. Right now you can try it out without having a subscription to Shortform.

Maxwell Drain (ID: 0000004b5666cd30) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/19/2023 This AI summarizer tool is truly impressive and stands out from its peers. Its superior ability to provide precise, context-rich summaries is unparalleled. The user-friendly interface and the unique feature of presenting counterarguments make it a must-have tool, especially for professionals who need to condense vast amounts of information quickly. A huge shout-out to the development team for creating this innovative tool that has become indispensable to our work. The anticipation of future developments in this tool is genuinely exciting. Keep up the great work!
