How to summarize any web page in seconds

One click

Open the side panel on any page and press Summarize in “For this page”. You get the main points in a few lines.

Ask a specific question

Summaries are generic. Questions are sharper: “What are the cancellation terms?”, “What changed compared to last year?”, “What would a beginner miss here?”

Select a part

Select a paragraph and use Explain from the small button that appears, or from the right-click menu. Only the selection is used.

Long pages and PDFs

Very long pages are trimmed to their most important visible text. If Chrome shows a PDF as text, the assistant can usually read it. Ask for a table of contents first, then dive into sections.

Privacy

A page is sent only with a request you make. Turn the page switch off above the message box when you want a general answer without page context.
