not very good for video summaries... fortunately the book summaries on the main app are very good.

I’ve been in IT since 1970 (BS-CSC, MSEE-Digital) with an AI course in 1972 (NCSU). Even in retirement, I’m always on the lookout for the best productivity apps/software. Also intensely intellectually curious. Your implementation of AI towards the analysis of web pages and videos is THE BEST EVER. Really, no hyperbolism whatsoever. This is something I use multiple times a day, to my delight. (Perhaps even to the detriment of my own “productivity.” But what’s the sense of being productive when fully retired?) I not only get a quick synopsis of the material, but you also deliver links to better content and, finally, links to books which have been professionally made short in the master library, itself constantly expanding. The combined availability of ShortForm BOOKS with this extension is SUPER SUPER VALUABLE...I'd pay more for both. As a matter of fact, I'd pay $1000 for a lifetime subscription as long as this extension was guaranteed.
