- What is this tool?
- SummerEyes is an AI-powered productivity tool that produces condensed summaries of any body of text on the internet by identifying key points and rewriting for clarity. It is currently implemented as a Google Chrome extension.
- What problem are you solving?
- Too much to read, too little time. We have an abundance of information we have to get through in a day, but are constrained by how much we can process. SummerEyes reduces the information burden and increases how much knowledge we can process in a day by removing unneccessary or non-critical points from news articles, emails, documents, textbooks, etc.
- How much does this cost?
- Right now, SummerEyes is free to use, as part of our Beta testing period. We will be implementing a paid subscription model in the near future.
- Are there any limitations on what I can summarize?
- As we are only offering access to our Free subscription at present, not all features will be made available. Summarizations of text greater than a few thousand words and summarization of PDFs are not available without a Premium subscription.
- How does it work?
- We run the inputted text through a Natural Language Process model that understands, evaluates, and rewrites the body of text in a way that optimizes information density. We are constantly trialling different models to optimize our results, and try identify the best possible model for each topic & user group. We train our Summary Engine with the feedback provided by our users , improving our capabilities over time.
- Can I use it for any language?
- Unfortunately, right now SummerEyes is only supported for English text. Other languages provided mixed results.
- Can I use it in any web browser?
- Unfortunately, right now SummerEyes is only available for Google Chrome & Brave on desktop. We are planning on rolling out additional versions for Safari and Firefox in the near-term.
- Where can I find more info on upcoming features & improvements?
- Register an account with us, and you will receive an email to signup for our newsletter. Our newsletter provides updates on our updates & planned feature roadmap, and is the best way to stay informed as we push to develop this product further.
- Why is my summary taking time to load?
- The processing time varies considerably based on a few factors. First, the larger the body of text, the longer the development of the summary will take - much like humans. Second, our server resources are currently limited in the Beta activation phase, and may be under-resourced to resolve summaries if there are too many concurrent users. Third, our servers sometimes suffer from the cold start problem, and may take a bit of time to warmup before processing the summary.
- What is the cold start problem?
- We run an on-demand server architecture. What this means is that we dynamically scale up our servers to handle the demand of users - i.e., when there is a lot of demand, we turn on many resources, and when demand drops we turn them off again. At certain times, we have to start a new resource to fulfil a request. In the same way that your computer needs time when you first press the power button, our servers need a bit of time to turn on from "cold" - giving a slight delay before we can process your summary.
