Hi Product Hunt,
I'm excited to share with you about Recap, a new Chrome extension that leverages ChatGPT to provide powerful text summarization capabilities for webpages. While there are other similar extensions available, Recap sets itself apart with its unique feature of splitting content into passages, allowing users to conveniently summarize specific sections of an article, rather than just the entire text.
The idea comes one day I founded a very long article I'm interested in, but I didn't have enough time to finish reading the whole story. Then after few days, I went back to this article, and found that I couldn't remember what I have read last time, but I could recall the position where I left. So I thought it would be great if there is a tool can help me to recap the content from start util some specific position (Hence the name "Recap"). Thanks to the power of ChatGPT, I started to build such a tool for myself.
Recap is free to use, and open-source. It will not collect any data from you, please check it out and have fun.
Thanks
