AI Summarizer: Summarize Web, YouTube and PDFs in Seconds–Free

Hey Hacker News community! I’m Hui, the maker of AI Summarizer – stoked to share this with you today!

I built this tool because, like many of you, I was drowning in endless articles, hour-long YouTube tutorials, and dense PDFs. One day, while scrambling to prep for a project, I thought: “What if AI could cut through the noise and give me the gist in seconds?” That spark led to months of coding, testing, and collaborating with beta users to polish a tool that’s fast, free, and works in 15 languages .

Why you’ll love it: Zero cost, zero fuss – completely free, no hidden limits. Your AI, your rules – pick ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Qwen or others to match your style. Works everywhere – summarize YouTube videos (yes, even with subtitles!), blogs, PDFs, and more. Speaks your language – whether you’re reading in Hindi, Korean, French, or 12 others.

Try it now and let me know: What content do YOU struggle to digest? Which AI model gives you the best summaries? Any features you’d love to see next?

Big thanks to early testers who helped shape this – your feedback is gold! Let’s keep the conversation going: Ask me anything about the tech, roadmap, or how to tweak prompts for laser-focused summaries. Let’s make information overload a thing of the past!

P.S. Share a screenshot of your first summary – I’d love to feature your vibe!






Make it a Show HN and add the URL when you submit it.

Does it use the YouTube transcript/subtitles?

EDIT: it seems to use subtitles: https://robwu.nl/crxviewer/?crx=https%3A%2F%2Fchromewebstore...
