Summarize any web page in one click

Summate is a Chrome extension that turns long articles, docs and blog posts into a clean summary — free, with no account and no API key. Where your browser ships a built-in AI model the summary runs on your own machine; where it does not, our free cloud tier does the work. Add your own AI API key only if you want the strongest models.

What Summate does

Everything runs from the browser toolbar. No account, no sign-up, and page text is never stored on our servers.

Free, no API key

Summaries use the AI model built into your browser, or our free cloud tier when the browser has none — no account, no credit card.

Private by default

On-device summaries never leave your computer. Cloud summaries are used only to produce the summary you asked for.

One-click summaries

Press the toolbar icon or Ctrl+Shift+S and get the gist of the page in seconds.

Brief / standard / detailed

Pick the depth you need for a skim or a full digest.

Follow-up Q&A

Ask questions about the page and keep the conversation context.

Bilingual summaries

Read the summary in English plus your own language.

History and export

Saved summaries with Markdown and Notion export.

RSS auto-summaries

Summate watches your feeds and summarizes new articles in the background.

How it works

Free by default. Your own AI provider — Anthropic or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint — is optional.

  1. Install the extension from the Chrome Web Store — there is no Summate account and nothing to sign up to.
  2. Open any article and click the toolbar icon (or press Ctrl+Shift+S). On Chrome 138+ the summary runs on your device; otherwise our free cloud tier generates it, still without an API key.
  3. Optional: add your own API key in Settings to use the model of your choice. Paid plans remove the daily cap on our cloud tier and are unlocked with a license key emailed after purchase.
