Tool Information

SkimIt.ai helps you quickly summarize articles so you can get the main points without spending all your time reading.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the number of articles out there, SkimIt.ai is the perfect solution for you. This handy tool uses AI to summarize any article you’d like. Just send the link of the article to [email protected], and you’ll have a neat summary in your inbox in about 10 minutes. But that’s not all! It also provides drafts for shareable tweets and a LinkedIn post, making it super easy to share what you’ve learned.

The magic behind the summaries comes from OpenAI's GPT technology, which delivers the key takeaways without the need for you to read the entire piece. However, it’s worth noting that the summaries are intended for entertainment purposes, so it’s wise not to rely on the content for complete accuracy.

SkimIt.ai was created by Karthik Sridharan and Alex Furmansky as an enjoyable side project during a hackathon. They wanted to play around with AI text processing, email handling, and web scraping, and the result is this useful summarization tool that saves you time and helps you stay informed.
