## Description

AI Summary helps you distill what you are reading: use a text selection or summarize the visible page in one click.

How it works
• Choose Summarize selection or Summarize entire page in the toolbar popup.
• The extension sends that text in a single HTTPS request to an OpenAI-style chat completions endpoint you configure (OpenAI, Groq, self-hosted, or any compatible URL).
• Set Summary language, Style, and API configuration (JSON) in Settings—including your model and API key.

Privacy
• No add-on author server: requests go only to the API URL you enter.
• Settings (including the API key) are stored in browser storage on your device only.
• Page content is used for the summary request and is not stored by the extension.

Good to know
• You need your own API access from a provider you trust.
• Copy puts the latest summary on the clipboard.
