  Summary Agent with summary

Inspiration

I just wanted to participate in hackathon and make a useful tool.

What it does

This is a google chrome extension. It summarizes text in web pages. On the page you can select text which you would like to summarize. If no text is selected summarize will work for the whole page. The app is built with accessibility in mind.

How we built it

The app is built in Javascript, HTML, CSS with the usage of Summarizer API and Translation API. For PDF text extraction external API is used https://api.apyhub.com/extract/text/pdf-file. (currently the extension won't work for PDF files due to limitations of the API)

Challenges we ran into

Accomplishments that we're proud of

What we learned

That's my first time creating chrome extension, so all APIs were new for me.

What's next for Summary Agent

We can add possibility to create summary for pages in different languages using Language Detector API and Translation API. We can add possibility to summarize custom text or files which user will provide. We can extract links from html pages and list them.
