Hey Hacker News community,

We're excited to announce the launch of our new Chrome extension, "Hacker News Summarizer," which uses OpenAI API to summarize articles on Hacker News. It helps you quickly understand the key takeaways without reading the whole article. Plus, no login or confirmation is required to use it! Simply install the extension and click the "summary" link next to "comments" when you want to read an article.

Disclaimer: Not all articles are summarised, or supported but we will change and try to support them later. Additionally, this extension is not affiliated with OpenAI or Hacker News.

Chrome Extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hacker-news-summar...

Try it out today and let us know what you think in the comments below!

Thanks, The Hacker News Summarizer team

It would be great if this could also summarize the discussion. Often there are hundreds of comments with a lot of commenters making similar points.

How do you handle the OpenAI API costs? Doesn't it reach beyond the free limits and increase your costs when usage increases?

Hi, sorry to be that person but is there a Firefox equivalent?

Who is paying for the API requests?

Love it so far. But for some reason it failed to summarize the link of this post.

It might be because chrome extension aren't allowed to run on "chrome extension store" for security purpose.
