SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It removes the time-consuming effort of reading long articles, transcripts, and local documents by producing concise summaries quickly.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • URL, Podcast, and File Summarization: Summarizes content from web URLs and local files, including a great fallback for “transcribe this YouTube/video.”
  • YouTube Summary vs Transcript Extraction: Provides best-effort transcript extraction for URLs only, and can return a tight summary first when a transcript is too large.
  • Provider-Backed Modeling and Practical Flags: Supports configurable models (defaulting to google/gemini-3-flash-preview) and common controls like length, JSON output, and extraction options.

Quick Start

Summarize a web article by running summarize with the article URL and your preferred model, for example: use summarize "https://example.com" --model google/gemini-3-flash-preview.
