Summary Box Extension

Summary Box is your AI copilot for the web. You can use it to instantly summarize any news article, blog, link, or webpage so that you can read content way faster. It uses the same AI that powers ChatGPT by summarizing and performing other tasks in its own words. This means that the AI has true intelligence and can really simplify long or complex articles.

Because of the internet, there's more information to take in than ever before. Our ability to publish content is at an all-time high, and yet our ability to process it has not improved. Reading faster is more important than ever.

Summary Box can also aid you in writing, email drafts, and having questions answered on Google and other search engines!

We're constantly working to improve Summary Box and bring it many more features in the future that will ultimately make it easier to read all the content you discover in Chrome.
