Summary

You can generate AI summaries of articles with just two clicks, directly from your browser using the Zapier Chrome extension to send articles and receive summaries directly from OpenAI's GPT-3 model. This automation process requires an OpenAI account, which you need to create before setting up the workflow. The 5-step Zap workflow includes sending a push from the Zapier Chrome extension as the trigger, parsing the web page to retrieve article text content with Web Parser by Zapier, truncating the text with Formatter by Zapier, sending a prompt to OpenAI's GPT-3 model for summarizing, and sending a reply back to the Zapier Chrome extension with the article summary. You can customize the prompt to get specific summaries depending on your use case. The workflow is context-aware, allowing you to pass information from the website directly to the Zap. With this solution, you can quickly skim through articles to determine which ones are worth sharing with your audience or keep up with recent developments in AI tools without spending hours reading.
