ABRÈGE allows you to quickly summarize the content of a webpage or selected text using ChatGPT. The goal is to help you abbreviate your readings, especially when conducting technological watch. By clicking on the extension icon, the current page's URL is sent to ChatGPT for summarization. Additionally, you can select any text on a webpage and use the context menu to get a summary generated by ChatGPT.
ABRÈGE is named after the French word meaning 'to abbreviate,' reflecting its purpose of simplifying and shortening reading material during tech research and analysis.
This extension is a fork of a project originally developed by Bhashkar Kumar Gupta. The original work provided the foundation for this project, and all due credit goes to Bhashkar Kumar Gupta for the initial development and inspiration.
