Recap is an open-source browser extension that allows you to easily summarize any portion of any webpage with ChatGPT. It is available on Chrome and has been featured on The Rundown. The extension is free to use, but you need a ChatGPT account to use it.
Key features
Recap offers several features to enhance your summarization experience. It supports choosing the model used in the ChatGPT webapp and the OpenAI API model. You can also set a custom OpenAI API host. Additionally, Recap supports the Chain of Density summarization technique, which provides more detailed summaries. The extension has been updated to fix various issues, such as the popup not showing with full width and removing the sticky panel on chat.openai.com.
Use cases
Recap is useful for anyone who wants to quickly get the gist of a long article, research paper, or any web content. It can be used by students, researchers, professionals, and casual readers to save time and improve comprehension. The ability to select any portion of a webpage makes it flexible for summarizing specific sections rather than the entire page.
Pricing
Recap is free to use. However, you need a ChatGPT account, which may have its own pricing if you use the API. The extension itself does not charge any fees.
