Activate the Mod

  1. Activate this mod. If you aren't logged into PixieBrix or need to create an account, you'll be prompted to do so before continuing the activation flow for this mod.

  2. Our Built-in Open-AI configuration is set by default, so there's nothing to configure.

  3. Click the purple Activate button.

Try it Out

  1. Head to a webpage with the text you want to summarize. Use out our AI + PixieBrix Blog Post if you don't have any other pages handy. Highlight the text you want to summarize.
  2. Right-click to open up the Context Menu, or use Cmd/Ctrl + M to open up the PixieBrix Quick Bar. Choose the "Summarize Selected Text" action. If you have other context menu mods configured, you'll need to click the PixieBrix icon to view them all.
